Advances in Food Science, Sustainable Agriculture, and Agroindustrial Engineering, 2021 Moisture diffusivity and activation energy are two important variables in a drying process to understand a certain product's drying behavior. This study aimed to determine the value of effective moisture diffusivity and the activation energy of red ...

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.

An oriented-design simplified model for the efficiency of a flat plate solar air collector [PDF]
, 2010 In systems design, suitably adapted physical models are required. Different modelling approaches for a solar air collector were studied in this paper. First, a classical model was produced, based on a linearization of the conservation of energy equations.

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/
