Economics of High Temperature Solar Grain Drying

Transactions of the ASAE, 1981
ABSTRACT IF solar energy is to be used by farmers in grain drying, it must be economically competitive with other available energy sources. An economic analysis of high temperature solar grain drying has been made through a computer model that designs and calculates the economic feasibility of this system.

Energy Requirements for High-Low Temperature Drying

Transactions of the ASAE, 1978
ABSTRACT RESULTS are presented for six experiments in-volving high-temperature drying followed by in-bin cooling and low-temperature drying. Low-temperature treatments included ambient air drying starting at three moisture contents, solar supplemented drying and drying during off-peak hours.

HIGH‐TEMPERATURE DRYING‐CUM‐PARBOILING OF PADDY

Journal of Food Process Engineering, 1980
ABSTRACT Alternate methods of parboiling of paddy, in place of conventional steam‐parboiling, for obtaining improved hydration ability in the parboiled rice were explored. Ratnachudi variety, a medium‐grained, tall indica, high‐amylose rice, was used. The paddy was soaked in warm water to a saturation moisture level (ca 30%, w.b.). The soaked paddy was

High-temperature dry-type transformer economics

Electrical Engineering, 1952
THE ADVENT OF high-temperature insulations, such as silicones, has moved upward the possible design limit due to deterioration of insulation with temperature. Formerly, the transformer designer used insulation to the temperature limit dictated by its aging characteristics and a reasonable life.

The effects of high-temperature drying on fragrant rice.

2003
AbstractThe effects of high temperature drying on fragrant rice cv. Kyeema were studied. High moisture paddy was dried using two-stage drying process which involved a fluidized bed at high temperature reducing moisture content to 18% wet basis (w.b.), followed by shade drying with a further moisture reduction of 14% w.b. Drying air temperatures of 150,

Thermal Modifications of Starch During High‐Temperature Drying of Pasta

Cereal Chemistry, 2000
ABSTRACTChanges in starch at the molecular level during high‐temperature (HT) drying of pasta were studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Pasta was manufactured from durum wheat semolina into the shape of spaghetti on a pilot‐plant installation.

Some Chytridiomycota in soil recover from drying and high temperatures

Mycological Research, 2004
Rhizophlyctis rosea was found in 44% of 59 soil samples from national parks, urban reserves and gardens, and agricultural lands of eastern New South Wales, Australia. As some of the soils are periodically dry and hot, we examined possible mechanisms that enable survival in stressful environments such as agricultural lands. Air-dried thalli of R.

FeCo–SiO2 nanocomposite aerogels by high temperature supercritical drying

Journal of Materials Chemistry, 2002
FeCo–SiO2 nanocomposite aerogels were prepared by high temperature supercritical drying of alcogels obtained using tetraethoxysilane, iron nitrate and cobalt nitrate as precursors. The structural evolution of the samples at the various stages of the preparation was studied by thermal analysis, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen physisorption ...

Steaming-high temperature drying of Larch Lumber

Journal of Northeast Forestry University, 1991
A series of drying tests on Larch Lumber and a theoretical analysis led to the following conclusions: 1. Steaming pretreatment is a very powerful means to decrease defects induced by the drying process and increases the drying velocity of the lumber. 2. The steaming-high-temperature drying schedule had resulted in fast drying and good

High temperature drying of corn silage

Rotary drum dryers are widely used in industrial agriculture because they can process large volumes of green crops in a short time, but the high temperatures required for rapid evaporation often cause thermal degradation, reducing essential nutrients, while intense moisture transfer can make the material brittle, leading to physical damage and quality ...
