Bulk Density,Porosity and Resistance to Airflow of Garlic Slices

ABSTRACT

The bulk density of garlic slices at different moisture levels (ranging from approximately 3 to 65% MC wet basis) was determined by weighing the contents of a container of known volume. The porosity was calculated using its relationship with bulk and apparent densities. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that bulk density and porosity were affected significantly by moisture and slice thickness as well as the interaction of these variables. Bulk density varied in a positive linear fashion with moisture and thickness while a negative linear correlation was found for the calculated bulk porosity. The linear model met the adequacy criterion for characterising the behaviour of garlic. Using a laboratory unit, the vertical resistance to airflow through the product and the effect of misture and slice thickness were investigated for an airflow rates of 0.09 to 1.2 m₃/s-m₂. A higher resistance to airflow was noted for the wet product with the experimental data fitting to Shedd's model when the aifflow range was divided into two sub-flow rates and to a modified Ergun's equation for the full range.     

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS FOR DIRECT REPRODUCTION (REVISED, 1992)

ABSTRACT

A software for simulating the drying operation of diluted suspensions in conical spouted beds of inert particles has been developed. This computer program combines the fluid flow and the solids circulation models with the drying kinetic equations. The simulated results for drying animal blood in a spouted bed of inert particles compare with data reported in the literature.     

INSRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS FOR DIRECT REPRODUCTION

ABSTRACT

We investigate experimentally the behaviour of the receding evaporation front during the drying of food products by measuring the temperature distribution profile within the potato slab. The effect of key process parameters on the receding speed of this evaporation front is investigated. We show that the square root of the drying time varies linearly with the transient position of the front. Also, the receding velocity of the front is seen to be related to the drying rate of the product as the front decelerates inward to the center of the material.     

NUSSELT NUMBER FOR DIRECT CONTACT EVAPORATION OF A MOVING ELLIPSOIDAL DROP IN AN IMMISCIBLE LIQUID

Since Sideman et al.^[1] derived an analytical solution of the Nusselt number for a spherical drop in the direct contact evaporation in an immiscible liquid, many researchers have performed theoretical research on this field under different assumptions [2]-[6]. However drops moving in another immiscible liquid do not take a spherical form, but oblate form, which may be well approximated as an ellipsoid. This paper establishes the mathematical model of heat transfer for a moving ellipsoidal drop in an immiscible liquid, and presents results from numerical calculation. The relationship of the Nusselt number with the Weber number and the Peclet number is given, which is suitable for a relatively large range of We and Pe. The theoretical results for the Nusselt number show good agreement with experimental data. Some important conclusions are obtained.

1 INTRODUCTIONGentry,Yong and Small [1-3]have described their Rodbaffle heat exchangers,whichare geometrically shell-and-tube exchangers consisting of a series of shell-side bafflesas an array of supporting rods.The supporting-rod matrix creates an unobstructedflow path and makes the flow field in the shell-side of the heat exchangerpredominantly longitudinal bringing along flow-induced tube vibration in a cross flowheat-exchanger.With neither bundle cross flow form drag nor repeated flow reversal ef-fects being present,the shell-side pressure losses in Rodbaffle heat exchangers are low.Rodbaffle heat exchangers also offer an enhanced thermal performance.Stagnant
