of moisture content in a fluidized bed dryer using an electrostatic sensor

Drying Performance and Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of a Circular-Pipe Conical-Floor Paddy In-Store Dryer

The in-store dryer (ISD) is a well-established convective drying-storage system; however, conventional designs often suffer from uneven airflow distribution and inefficient heat transfer. To address this gap, this study introduces a novel configuration featuring a circular-pipe conical floor and an improved hot-air sup...

Investigation of the drying characteristics of a modified hybrid solar dryer

Inter-particle lubrication model for ballast bed response at medium moisture contents

For railway lines in rainy regions, ballast beds may remain at medium moisture contents for prolonged periods because of their good drainage, and surface water on ballast particles can lubricate inter-particle contacts. Existing research mainly focuses on the dynamic responses of the ballast bed under field capacity (i...

Influence of climatic conditions on moisture storage in bio-based multilayer walls: a coupled heat and moisture transfer study

Enhancing intermittent convective drying through thermal storage using beeswax phase change material

Establishing the kinetic regularities and energy efficiency of thermally-treated rice drying considering partial vapor pressure

The process of drying thermally treated rice has been considered in this study for different energy supply techniques. The task addressed relates to the high energy intensity of convective drying, the duration of the process, as well as the limitations in existing models that do not take into account the partial pressu...
