Thermal diffusivity of periderm from tomatoes of different maturity stages as determined by the concept of the frequency-domain open photoacoustic cell [PDF]

, 2011
The frequency-domain open photoacoustic cell (OPC) approach was used to determine room temperature thermal diffusivity of skins (pericarps) from the raw tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculetum Mill.) characterized by the three different stages of ripeness (from

AN INVERSE MOISTURE DIFFUSION ALGORITHM FOR THE DETERMINATION OF DIFFUSION COEFFICIENT [PDF]

Drying Technology, 2001
The finite difference approximation is applied to estimate the moisture-dependent diffusion coefficient by utilizing test data of isothermal moisture desorption in northern red oak (Quercus rubra). The test data contain moisture distributions at discrete locations across the thickness of specimens, which coincides with the radial direction of northern ...

Variation in the impact of stem scar and cuticle on water loss in highbush blueberry fruit argue for the use of water permeance as a selection criterion in breeding [PDF]

, 2017
The role of fruit scar on water loss from fresh harvested, fully blue highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fruit was studied on three germplasm lines from each of three half-sib families at University of Talca, Chile. The stem scar of half of the

REGULAR REGIME ANALYSIS AND MOISTURE DIFFUSIVITY IN WOOD [PDF]

Drying Technology, 1993
For hygroscopic materials, an improved Regular Regime (RR) anal. (W. Schoeber, 1976) can be used for detn. of moisture diffusivities dependent on moisture content. The diffusivities as functions of moisture content were derived from a single desorption expt. using a compact and streamlined calcn. procedure.
