Modelling the cooking process of a single cereal grain [PDF]
, 1996 Four models are developed to assist with the uniform and accurate cooking of whole grains for Uncle Tobys breakfast cereals. 1. Heat satisfies a linear conduction equation and is found to rapidly penetrate the grain. 2.

Sustainable earth walls to meet the building regulations [PDF]
, 2004 The thermal conductivity and diffusivity of un-fired clay bricks, a straw clay mixture and straw bales have been measured using a thermal probe technique, with an iterative method for data analysis. The steady-state air-to-air thermal transmittance, or U-

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study examines how several molten high‐silicon electrical steels interact with both conventional and recycled MgO–C refractories. For this, various immersion experiments are conducted. In addition to infiltration, a number of mechanisms are identified and explained that control the corrosion of the refractory material.

Mathematical and neural network modelling of terebinth fruit under fluidized bed drying
Research in Agricultural Engineering, 2015 The paper presents an application which uses Feed Forward Neural Networks (FFNNs) to model the non-linear behaviour of the terebinth fruit drying. Mathematical models and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were used for prediction of effective moisture ...

An Experimental Investigation of the Scaling of Columnar Joints [PDF]
, 2006 Columnar jointing is a fracture pattern common in igneous rocks in which cracks self-organize into a roughly hexagonal arrangement, leaving behind an ordered colonnade. We report observations of columnar jointing in a laboratory analog system, desiccated

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.High‐temperature interactions between low‐sulfur Al‐killed Mn–B steel and MgO–C refractories (0 and 50 wt% recyclates) are studied via finger immersion tests (1600 °C). Surface‐active elements influence infiltration. MgO/CaS layer forms, along with spinel and calcium silicate.

Study on Drying Kinetics of Paddy Rice: Intermittent Drying [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2016 The intermittent drying characteristics of an Iranian popular paddy rice variety were experimentally investigated to determine the drying kinetics and obtain the effective moisture diffusivity. A lab-scale fluidized bed dryer was designed and constructed

Mathematical modeling of drying characteristics of Jew’s mallow (Corchorus olitorius) leaves
Information Processing in Agriculture, 2019 Drying behaviour of Jew’s mallow leaves using an oven dryer was studied. The influence of drying temperatures (50, 60 and 70 °C) on moisture content of the leaves at stable air velocity was considered.

Influence of Physicochemical Characteristics on the Effective Moisture Diffusivity in Tobacco
International Journal of Food Properties, 2015 The effect of the physicochemical characteristics on the moisture diffusion of tobacco was studied. In this research, the physical structure (specific surface area and pore volume) and major chemical components (total nitrogen, protein, pectin, starch, water-soluble sugar, and total sugar) of tobacco were determined. The effective diffusion coefficient

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...
