the main purpose of present paper is the modeling of onion drying process and investigation of experimental data of onion drying obtained with using a hot air dryer. therefore some empirical and regression models have been considered to fit experimental data. the investigation of the experimental data shows the onion drying happens only in falling rate zone. the experimental data have been fitt...

Performance of a tractor mounted solar-biomass hybrid dryer which utilise combined energy solar and biomass was investigated. Drying behaviour maize grains in the also investigated using 10 thin-layer mathematical models. The models were compared based on coefficient determination (R2) root mean square error (RMSE) values between experimental predicted moisture ratios. Moisture content (MC) red...

The newly developed Heat Exchanger Evacuated Tube Assisted Drying System (HE-ETADS) is fabricated in roof of campus MITS, Gwalior, India. transfer analysis drying system carried out by mushroom inside it. heat coefficient plays a significant role method. study emphasizes on determining the convective as well evaporative coefficients (CHTC & EHTC) and determination best rate model fit fo...

We thank Drs Durmaz, Kucuk, and Kucuk for their interest in our article. Their thought-provoking comments speak to the importance of understanding the link between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and cardiovascular disease risk specifically in women, and the need to appreciate the link between psychological and physical health, as well. Durmaz et al highlight the unique nature of our study...

Abstract Phyllanthus niruri L. drying kinetics were empirically examined at the temperature of 40 °C, 45 50 55 and 60 °C in an air-drying oven. The herbs’ aerial components (stems, leaves, flowers) picked after 9-10 weeks planting. procedure ended when sample weights remained unchanged. time varied from 7 to 20.5 hours. CurveExpert Professional was utilized establish optimal modeling fit. Accor...

Development of practical algorithms for beamforming in 3G CDMA systems and their software radio implementations are still a challenging task, which will facilitate upgrading of traditional base stations into smart antenna capable 3G base stations. In this paper, we propose a practical space-code correlator (SCC) receiver structure for its software radio implementation a DSP. SCC’s advantage com...

In this study, the drying kinetics of saffron stigmas pretreated by atmospheric pressure cold plasma pretreatment (15, 30, 45 and 60 s) followed by hot air drying (60°C and 1.5 m/s) were modeled using 10 conventional mathematical thin layer models. The use of cold plasma pretreatment reduced drying time and enhanced effective moisture diffusivity (Deff). The most accurate models describing beha...

In this study, coriander leaves were subjected to three different drying techniques; direct sun, shade, and using an indirect solar dryer. the developed dryer, hot air obtained from a black-body collector was pushed by blower powered panel, sent chamber with multiple trays for thin-layer drying. Experiments conducted summer winter seasons, temperature relative humidity variations in measured da...
