Shrinkage during drying of foodstuffs

Journal of Food Engineering, 1994
Abstract Experimental shrinkage data as a function of water content for particles of potatoes, apples and carrots of different geometry and under various drying conditions are presented. Volumetric shrinkage of individual particles is affected mainly by air velocity; other drying variables have negligible effect.

Single and dual effects of magnesia and alumina nano-particles on strength and drying shrinkage of alkali activated slag

, 2019
High drying shrinkage is considered as one of the main drawbacks which hinder the mass production of alkali activated slag (AAS). The formation of expansive phases was found to be the dominant factor for drying shrinkage reduction in sodium silicate ...

Experimental and numerical study of the relative humidity effect on drying shrinkage and cracking of self-consolidating concrete

Cement and Concrete Research, 2019
The drying shrinkage of cementitious materials is a complex phenomenon that is very sensitive to boundary conditions such as relative humidity (RH).

The Behavior at the Shrinkage Limit of Clay Undergoing Drying

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1992
Abstract In this paper, possible links between the shrinkage limit and distinct changes in other properties of a clay soil undergoing drying are discussed. These properties include the volumetric air content of the soil, the heat of wetting, the tensile strength, the total suction, and the thermal resistivity of the soil.

Influence of evaporation rate on pore size distribution, water loss, and early-age drying shrinkage of cement paste after the initial setting

Construction and Building Materials, 2019
The influence of the water evaporation rate on early-age drying shrinkage of cement paste is investigated. To measure shrinkage, three mixed groups with different water–cement ratios (w/c’s) were studied over a period of 72 h.

Shrinkage Characteristics and Porosity of Pears during Drying

Drying Technology, 2006
The high moisture content of pears (about 80%) results in a high degree of shrinkage when drying takes place, which strongly affects the fruit structure and quality. The aim of the present work was to study the shrinkage characteristics of pears during air drying by evaluating their dimensions and volume along the drying process and by predicting ...

Research on drying shrinkage deformation and cracking risk of pavement concrete internally cured by SAPs

, 2019
Drying shrinkage and cracking are important factors affecting the performance and service life of pavement concrete directly, and they can be effectively alleviated by internal curing with super absorbent polymer (SAP).
