Heat and Mass Transfer Measurements for Tray-Fermented Fungal Products

In this study, heat and mass transfer in static tray fermentation, which is widely used in solid-state fermentation (SSF) to produce fungal products, such as enzymes or koji, is investigated. Specifically, kinetic models of transport phenomena in the whole-tray chamber are emphasized. The effects of temperature, moisture, and humidity on microbial growth in large-scale static tray fermentation are essential to scale-up SSF and achieve uniform fermentation. In addition, heat and mass transfer of static tray fermentation of Trichoderma fungi with two tray setups??traditional linen coverings and stacks in a temperature?Chumidity chamber is examined. In both these setups, the following factors of fermentation were measured: air velocity, air temperature, illumination, pH, carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration, and substrate temperature, and the effects of bed height, moisture of substrate, and relative humidity of air are studied. A thin (1 cm) bed at 28 °C and 95 % relative humidity is found to be optimum. Furthermore, mixing was essential for achieving uniform fermentation of Trichoderma fungi. This study has important applications in large-scale static tray fermentation of fungi.

Measurements of Particle Velocity and Concentration for Dilute Swirling Gas-Solid Flow in a Vertical Pipe

Experimental studies concerning the characterization of a dilute swirling gas-solid flow were carried out in a vertical pipe with a height of 12 m and an inner diameter of 80 mm. Polyethylene pellets, with mean diameter of 3.2 mm, were used as test particles. The initial swirl number varied from 0.0 to 0.94, the mean gas velocity varied from 9 to 25 m/s, and the solid-gas ratio varied from 0.2 to 0.7. In this study, the particle velocity and concentration profiles were measured by the photographic image technique for both nonswirling (axial) and swirling gas-solid flows. It was found that the particle velocity of the swirling flow is lower than that of the axial flow in the range of high gas velocity; however, high particle velocity in the former flow can be obtained in the range of low gas velocity. The particle velocity profiles, on the other hand, were found to be nearly uniform in both the swirling and axial flows. The particle concentration profiles in the swirling flow exhibited symmetric distributions with respect to the pipe axis, and a higher particle concentration appeared in the vicinity of the wall located in the acceleration region.

Particle Characteristics and Analysis Using the Laser-Based Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer (PDPA) and Statistical Method

Particle characterization is an important component in product research and development, manufacturing, and quality control of particulate materials. In this article a laser-based phase Doppler particle analyzer (PDPA) was used to measure particle size and velocity. Two different particles, humid particles and fog particles, were tested using the PDPA. Several tests were conducted under different conditions and all data were analyzed using the statistical method and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to see which factor affects particle performance. The humid particle flow rate has a significant effect on both the particle mean diameter and the particle mean velocity with 90% confidence. The type of oil particle has a significant effect on the particle mean velocity with 90% confidence.

Laser Doppler Velocimetry for Joint Measurements of Acoustic and Mean Flow Velocities: LMS-Based Algorithm and CRB Calculation

This paper presents a least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm for the joint estimation of acoustic and mean flow velocities from laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) measurements. The usual algorithms used for measuring with LDV purely acoustic velocity or mean flow velocity may not be used when the acoustic field is disturbed by a mean flow component. The LMS-based algorithm allows accurate estimations of both acoustic and mean flow velocities. The Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) of the associated problem is determined. The variance of the estimators of both acoustic and mean flow velocities is also given. Simulation results of this algorithm are compared with the CRB, and the comparison leads us to validate this estimator.     

International Comparison on Thermal-Diffusivity Measurements for Iron and Isotropic Graphite Using the Laser Flash Method in CCT-WG9

The first international pilot study of thermal-diffusivity measurements using the laser flash (LF) method was organized by the working group 9 (WG9) of the Consultative Committee for Thermometry (CCT) of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). Four National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) participated in this comparison. Thermal-diffusivity measurements on the Armco iron and the isotropic graphite IG-110 were carried out from room temperature to about 1200 K. The sample sets consist of five disk-shaped specimens of 10 mm in diameter and (1.0, 1.4, 2.0, 2.8, and 4.0) mm in thickness, each cut from the same block of material. These sample sets were specifically prepared for the comparison and sent to the participants. In the pilot comparison, the thermal diffusivity of each sample was estimated using the LF method with a specific extrapolating procedure. This procedure has the advantage of determining the inherent thermal diffusivity of the material. The extrapolated value in a plot of measured apparent thermal-diffusivity values versus the amplitude of the output signal corresponding to the temperature rise during each measurement is defined as the inherent thermal diffusivity. The overall results showed good agreement between independent laboratories, measurement equipment, and specimen thicknesses. The thermal diffusivities of the materials were determined using our measured results. A quantitative evaluation of the variability of the data obtained by the participants has been done, by evaluating the deviations from the reference value, the Z-value, and the En-number. Some data showed a large deviation from the reference value. It was concluded that these are caused by an insufficient time response of the measurement equipment and some difficulties with changing the pulsed heating energy. The effect of the thermal expansion on the thermal diffusivity was checked. It was found that the thermal-expansion effect was very small and negligible in this case.

Optical Probe for the In-Line Determination of Particle Shape,Size, and Velocity

A laboratory optical probe was developed to simultaneously determine the following particle characteristics: circularity, particle projection area, equivalent diameter of a circle, length of the particle outline or perimeter, maximum chord length, aspect ratio, and particle velocity. Using the projection area and the perimeter, the particle shape factor circularity can be determined. The aspect ratio was approximated by the ratio of the equivalent diameter to the maximum chord length. The basic measuring principle is multi-point scanning of the particle shadow image by a line of optical fibers. In addition, the particle velocity can be measured by a differential spatial filter of optical fibers. These fibers are step index fibers with a core diameter of 64 µm and cladding of 70 µm. The shadow image of a single particle was generated by a parallel laser beam. The uncertainty of the measured circularity and aspect ratio was investigated by using metal wires with diameters of 0.12 to 0.5 mm as test particles with known circularity and aspect ratio. The standard deviations were 1.9% for the circularity and 15.5% for the approximated aspect ratio. In addition, the optical probe system was investigated by measurements of solid particles with different shapes. As an example, the results of sand, marjoram seed, and metallic oxide particles are shown. Using 1000 sand particles, the correlation between equivalent diameter and particle velocity could be demonstrated. The presented configuration of the optical probe is applicable in the size range of 0.1 to 0.9 mm and up to a particle velocity of 5 m/s.

二维平移法小尺寸KDP单晶生长溶液流动与传质模拟

二维平移法是一种新型的晶体生长方法.在该方法中,晶体不再作正反转运动,而是沿着特定轨迹作周期性的平移运动.本工作对二维平移法小尺寸磷酸二氢钾(KDP)单晶生长过程进行了数值模拟研究,获得了不同平移速度、不同平移距离以及不同迎流角度下晶体附近溶液流动与晶面过饱和度分布.结果表明:增加平移速度,晶面过饱和度随之增加,但流场结构并无明显变化;增大平移距离,晶面的过饱和度反而降低,标准差则有逐渐增大的趋势,这不利于提高过饱和度均匀性;不同迎流角度下,柱面的过饱和度分布差异较大,对流的不对称性也更加明显,当迎流角度为45°时,对晶体生长更有利.此外,台阶推移结果表明,不均匀的过饱和度会造成台阶弯曲和聚并,二维平移法更利于台阶稳定推移,有望提高形貌稳定性和晶体质量.
