Studying the drying characteristics and quality attributes of chili pepper at different maturity stages: Experimental and mechanistic model

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2021
The drying characteristics of chili pepper at three maturity stages under different drying conditions were studied under a hot air drying cabinet. The drying was performed at a relative humidity of 25%, 35%, and 45% and temperatures of 40 °C, 50 °C, and ...

Bimetallic (NiFe) and Trimetallic (NiFeCr) Nanoalloys from Metal Oxides Using a Microwave Hydrogen Plasma

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Bimetallic (NiFe) and trimetallic (NiFeCr) nanoalloys (NAs) are synthesized using corresponding oxide mixtures using microwave hydrogen plasma within a few milliseconds. The process simultaneously 1) reduces metal oxides to metals; 2) downsizes the particles from micrometers to nanometers; and 3) blends the metals to form NAs.

Estimation of effective water vapour diffusion and mass transfer during quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) drying

open access: yesAgronomía Colombiana, 2023
This study shows the modeling of the convective drying operation of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd. var. Hualhuas) grains implemented in the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) software. The proposed model was based on Fick’s second law.

Optimization of leaf morphology in relation to leaf water status: A theory. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The leaf economic traits such as leaf area, maximum carbon assimilation rate, and venation are all correlated and related to water availability. Furthermore, leaves are often broad and large in humid areas and narrower in arid/semiarid and hot and cold ...

Population of Nonmetallic Inclusions in Liquid High‐Silicon Electrical Steel in Contact With MgO–C Refractories Based on Recyclates and Environmentally Friendly Binders

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The formation of nonmetallic inclusions (NMIs) was investigated in this study, carrying out immersion tests for 30 min at a temperature of 1600°C with liquid high‐silicon electrical steel (Si ≈ 3 mass‐%) and different MgO–C refractories. Conventional MgO–C refractories were considered, as well as MgO–C refractories containing MgO–C recyclate and ...

CALCULATION OF SOIL WATER DIFFUSIVITY USING A MODEL FOR SOIL MOISTURE PROFILE UNDER DIFFERENT SALINITY CONDITIONS

open access: yesJournal of Engineering, 2010
A closed formed model modified from that of van Genuchten (1980) was used to fit the data of soil moisture profile ( θ vs. λ ) from which the slope dλ/dθ can be evaluated and then the soil water diffusivity [D(θ)] can be calculated.
