Numerical Simulation of a Solar Kiln Design for Drying Timber with Different Geographical and Climatic Conditions in Australia

A numerical simulation for the modeling of solar kilns for hardwood timber drying with different boundary conditions has been developed in this work. This simulation has been used to predict the key behavior of the wood and the kiln itself under different geographical and weather conditions in Australia. This work, therefore, enables a site to be suggested that is likely to give the best kiln performance both in terms of the productivity and the quality of the end-use product. As test cases, realistic climatic conditions for three representative geographical locations in Australia, including Sydney (latitude 33.86°S), Melbourne (37.81°S), and Brisbane (27.46°S), have been considered in this simulation. Out of the three sites considered in this work, the fastest drying rates (and highest diffusion coefficients) were predicted in Brisbane. The highest level of instantaneous strain in the timber for this location was also predicted to be 0.0075 m/m, which is much less than the failure value (0.02 m/m). The moisture content distribution profile within the boards toward the end of the drying period was found to be almost uniform, which is likely to cause low degrade in the dried timber.     

Physical and Functional Properties of Blackberry Freeze- and Spray-Dried Powders

The aim of the present work was to develop two products from blackberry juice by freeze and spray drying with potential use as food colorants or healthy ingredients. A characterization of the physical and functional properties of the powdered juices was done. Maltodextrin or a mixture of trehalose and maltodextrin were assessed as carrier matrices. Freeze-dried, maltodextrin-containing powders presented the best retention of bioactive compounds and antiradical activity; however, they showed a narrow relative humidity range for storage in the glassy state. Spray-dried powders showed better physical properties, bearing higher glass transition temperature and lower molecular mobility than freeze-dried formulations.

Modellrechnungen zur Beanspruchung heterogener elastischer Körper durch allseitigen Druck

Hydraulic comminution is especially suitable if the elastic properties of the components differ significantly. Here, the basic equations of the elasticity theory were drafted for two model shapes. In cylindrical as well as in Cartesian coordinates, the solution to the equation system is obtained through the solution of the bipotential equation via the introduction of a stress function. However, certain boundary conditions have to be fulfilled. In the case of all‐round constant compression, this can be achieved through an approach in integral form for both model shapes.     

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP): A versatile and forceful tool for functional membranes

The progress in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) provides an effective means for the design and preparation of functional membranes. Polymeric membranes with different macromolecular architectures applied in fuel cells, including block and graft copolymers are conveniently prepared via ATRP. Moreover, ATRP has also been widely used to introduce functionality onto the membrane surface to enhance its use in specific applications, such as antifouling, stimuli-responsive, adsorption function and pervaporation. In this review, the recent design and synthesis of advanced functional membranes via the ATRP technique are discussed in detail and their especial advantages are highlighted by selected examples extract the principles for preparation or modification of membranes using the ATRP methodology.     

颗粒在椭圆形回转干馏炉内运动分析

通过实验研究颗粒在不同椭圆滚筒内的运动情况,分析了不同填充率、不同转速和不同颗粒粒径对其的影响。由实验得出:颗粒在椭圆不同位置的运动情况并不一致,随着长短轴之比变大,运动趋于平缓;填充率降低会引起颗粒运动模式过渡区间变大,进入小瀑布模式所需转速增加;颗粒粒径增大,颗粒在筒内受重力、摩擦力的影响变得更加明显,在长轴垂直水平位置,所受惯性影响更加显著,并出现明显的多种模式相结合的运动形式。     

An initial study on feasible treatment of Serbian lignite through utilization of low-rank coal upgrading technologies

Despite benefiting from vast fuel reserves, combustion of low-rank coals is commonly characterized by low thermal efficiency and high pollutant emissions, partly due to high moisture content of the coals in question. Thus, removal of moisture from low-rank coals is deemed an important quality upgrading method. The paper provides an overview of the current status of low-rank coal upgrading technologies, particularly with respect to utilization of drying and dewatering procedures. In order to examine the influence of relevant parameters on the moisture removal process, a model of convective coal drying in a packed, as well as in a fluid bed combustion arrangement, is developed and presented. Product-specific data (intraparticle mass transfer, gas–solid moisture equilibrium) related to the coal variety addressed herein (lignite) are obtained through preliminary investigations. Effective thermal conductivity of the packed bed as defined by Zehner/Bauer/Schlünder is used to define heat transfer mechanisms occurring in the packed bed. Similar two-phase fluidization model has been validated for different types of biomaterials.     

Extraction of Phospholipids from Structured Dry Egg Yolk

Chicken egg yolk is a concentrated source of phospholipids (PL). Extracting egg PL with high efficiency is vital to the availability and economics of this high-valued lipid product. In this study, two types of structured dry egg yolk materials, yolk flakes and pellets, were prepared. Two commonly used solvents, hexane and ethanol, were tested on the extraction of total yolk lipids including the PL. The PL fraction was obtained by the conventional cold acetone precipitation. The drum-dried yolk flakes were shown to be an ideal starting material for total lipid and PL extraction. Anhydrous ethanol can extract almost all the neutral lipids and PL with little change to the individual components of the native PL. A PL product with a purity of more than 90 % and a yield of 99 % can be prepared using this method.
