The paper presents results of an experimental investigation of convective drying of Idared apple in full recirculation laboratory scale dryer. The experiments were conducted with cube-shaped apple samples (side length 10 and 13 mm),... more
Drying is a technique that involves removal of moisture using heat energy. This heat affects the protein components in foods especially the thiosulphide groups, which causes hydrophobic bond break that has been attributed greatly to... more
A significant portion of the total power consumption in high performance digital circuits in deep sub-micron regime is mainly due to leakage power. Leakage is the only source of power consumption in an idle circuit. Therefore it is... more
The paper presents results of an experimental investigation of convective drying of Apples "var. Idared"; Potatoes "var. Désirée"; and Bananas "var. Grand Nein", in full recirculation laboratory scale dryer. The experiments were conducted... more
The effect of temperature (35, 50, and 60°C) on the rehydration behavior of microwave-dried amaranth (Amaranthus dubius) leaves was investigated. Leaves were dried at 700 W power level before rehydrating in water. The higher the... more
This paper reports the study of crumb rubber drying in different experimental designs. It is important to understand the characteristics of crumb rubber drying in order to formulate a better drying strategy that could give higher energy... more
The effect of Manganese (Mn) addition on the Vickers hardness and relative density of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) dense bodies were studied. The starting Mn doped HA powders was synthesized via sol-gel method with Mn concentration... more
Preservation of carotene for balancing the ration of animals in winter is important at the current time. It is known that drying is the most common way of preparing food for long-term storage. Elimination of moisture in the material... more
