Thermodynamic properties and drying kinetics of Bauhinia forficata Link leaves
Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e AmbientalThe aim of this study was to determine the effective diffusion coefficient and the thermodynamic properties of Bauhinia forficata Link leaves, considering two forms of thickness measurements and to describe the process by fitting mathematical models. The

New image analysis of large food particles can discriminate experimentally suppressed mastication [PDF]
, 2012 Objective parameters that could provide a basis for food texture selection for elderly or dysphagic patients have not been established. We, therefore, aimed to develop a precise method of measuring large particles (>2 mm in diameter) in a bolus and an ...

The Analytical Theory of Water Activity in the Paddy Rice Drying Process
AgronomyDrying involves the evaporation of moisture, accompanied by simultaneous heat transfer, mass transfer, and momentum transfer. While the diffusion law is considered an applicable model for explaining the drying phenomenon, the actual drying process cannot

Moisture transport coefficient in drying porous media
, 2015 Two main approaches have been used to derive mathematical models for the drying process: The first approach considers the partially saturated porous medium as a continuum and partial differential equations are used to describe the mass, momentum and energy balances of the fluid phases.

Effect of scattering extinction coefficient on drying rate
American Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research, 2013 Drying is purposely meant for preservation at lowest possible cost. The methods of drying can be categorized into two broad headings - Natural and Artificial. In the natural drying method, solar radiation is the major factor required. It has been observed that less than 30% of the radiation from the sun actually reaches the earth surface, the rest are ...
