Drying Characteristics of Elephant Foot Yam and Performance Evaluation of Convective Dryer in Kinetically and Equilibrium Controlled Regime Under Varying Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Drying characteristics of elephant foot yam (EFY) are determined at three different air velocities and temperatures using an innovative convective dryer. The performance of the convective dryer is also determined and ...
Influence of Nonflow Zone (Back Cavity) Geometry on the Performance of Pumps as Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The larger objective of this research comes from the fact that optimization studies in “pumps operated as turbines” have concentrated only within flow zones without any physical perception regarding the influence of nonflow ...
A Novel Non-Intrusive Imaging Technique to Quantify Shrinkage of Elephant Foot Yam During Convective Drying
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The current work discusses the design and development of a novel convective drying system which predicts both the drying and the shrinkage characteristics of any food material simultaneously at different drying air velocities ...
