The structural parameters of a grain dryer are directly related to the its energy consumption and quality formation. Therefore, based on Ergun model, air state uniformity evaluation method, effect changes in ventilation area airflow resistance, drying consumption, efficiency theoretically experimentally studied this work under same initial weight flux. results show that conditions temperatures ...

lemon is one of the most important citrus fruit and is consumed as fresh and dry. in this study the effect of fruit moisture content on the size, sphericity, geometric mean diameters and kernel density were studied. the bulk density and porosity were also evaluated in three different arrangements. airflow resistance is a fundamental parameter for designing an efficient drying and aeration syste...

Caricature Creation In this stage, we create abstract caricatures using all features as disconnected pieces. Using disconnected pieces is partly motivated by cubist sculptures such as Pablo Picasso‘s {Reclining Bather}. Individual pieces also allow faster shape modification. Each unique feature is represented by at least one disconnected 3D surface. Therefore, it is easy to improve 3D recogniza...

Based mainly on field geological observation and geochronologic data, six tectonic units have been recognized in western Inner Mongolia (China), including, from south to north: North China Craton (NCC), Southern Orogenic Belt (SOB), Hunshandake Block (HB), Northern Orogenic Belt (NOB), South Mongolia microcontinent (SMM), and Southern margin of Ergun Block (SME), suggesting that the tectonic fr...

Modeling High-Genus Surfaces. (May 2004) Vinod Srinivasan, B.Tech., Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India; M.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Ergun Akleman The goal of this research is to develop new, interactive methods for creating very high-genus 2-manifold meshes. The various approaches investigated in this research can be categorized into two groups – inter...
