Effect of operating conditions on performance of silica gel-water air-fluidised desiccant cooler
E3S Web of Conferences, 2017 Fluidised desiccant cooling is reported in the literature as an efficient way to provide cooling for air-conditioning purposes. The performance of this technology can be described by electric and thermal Coefficients of Performance (COP) and Specific ...

Three-dimensional modelling on the hydrodynamics of a circulating fluidised bed
, 2009 The rapid depletion of oil and the environmentalimpact of combustion has motivated the search for cleancombustion technologies. Fluidised bed combustion (FBC)technology works by suspending a fuel over a fast air inletwhilst sustaining the required ...

Liquids as Reinforcements for Anisotropic and Tough Soft Matter Composites
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Liquid metal droplets are shaped and oriented within soft elastomers to create all‐soft matter composites with programmable mechanical anisotropy. These liquid inclusions act as fiber‐like reinforcements, enabling directional stiffness, enhanced toughness, and controlled crack steering under extreme deformation, offering new routes to resilient soft ...

Online Thermal Analysis of Batch Roasted Coffee Beans [PDF]
, 2014 We constructed and instrumented a fluidised-bed coffee roaster. This work has been carried out as part of a search for the “ideal point”, which is the point in time when an expert roaster would terminate the roast in order to yield beans that produce the

Ingeniería e Investigación, 2006 All coffee is harvested as cherry grains which are then crushed and extracted traditionally or by applying the Becolsub method. Once the coffee parchment obtained has been washed, it is naturally or mechanically dried. Static dryers are the most used mechanical dryers, generally producing lack of uniformity in the grain's final humidity content which ...
