Kinetics model of convective drying
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract The article considers various approaches to modeling the drying of finely dispersed products: based on the classical theory of diffusion, from the standpoint of the thermodynamics of an irreversible process. An analysis of the scientific and technical literature on the problem revealed not high accuracy of the convective drying ...

Dry soils can intensify mesoscale convective systems [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 SignificanceSoil moisture plays a key role in the climate system by affecting rainfall and drought over land. Through its impact on temperature, humidity, and wind in the lower atmosphere, it can influence where thunderstorms initiate. However, in many regions of the world, traveling storm clusters known as mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are the ...

Pattern formation without heating in an evaporative convection experiment [PDF]
, 2003 We present an evaporation experiment in a single fluid layer. When latent heat associated to the evaporation is large enough, the heat flow through the free surface of the layer generates temperature gradients that can destabilize the conductive ...

Air drying of blueberry fruits: Drying kinetics, mathematical modeling and physical properties [PDF]
Journal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, 2019 The hot air convective drying of blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) in a thin layer was performed using a laboratory-scale dryer. The experiments were carried out at drying air temperatures of 60, 70 and 80 o C, and drying air velocities of 0.5 and 1.5 m/

A Statistical Analysis of the Influence of Deep Convection on Water Vapor Variability in the Tropical Upper Troposphere [PDF]
, 2009 The factors that control the influence of deep convective detrainment on water vapor in the tropical upper troposphere are examined using observations from multiple satellites in conjunction with a trajectory model.

A Numerical Implementation of the Soret Effect in Drying Processes [PDF]
, 2020 Drying of porous media is strictly governed by heat and mass transfer. However, contrary to the definition that drying is simultaneous transport mechanisms of heat and mass, most past and current models either account for temperature or concentration ...

Advances in understanding large-scale responses of the water cycle to climate change [PDF]
, 2020 Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of around 7%/°C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are constrained by the Earth's energy balance to increase at ∼2–3%/°C.
