Abstract The influence of drying on the color, porosity, shrinkage and moisture of persimmon fruit during convective drying was determined by computer vision. The experiments were performed with persimmon fruit that were cut into slab 20 × 20 mm, which were arranged into a bigger slab, 60 × 60 mm. Drying process was carried out at 60 °C. Noticeable changes in quality parameters (color, porosity and shrinkage) could be observed during the drying process, where the central region of the sample evidenced less changes. Persimmon’s physical properties were experimentally obtained as the temperature function and heat and mass convective coefficients were adjusted as a time function. A numerical simulation using the Finite Volume Method allowed to describe the evolution of temperature and moisture content distributions during drying. The numerical and experimental results of temperature and moisture during persimmon drying were found to be in a good agreement.

Based on non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory and combined with the conservation laws, a comprehensive theoretical model was established to describe heat and mass transfer during convective drying process, and numerical calculation was performed. The results show that: (a) the external convective heat and mass transfer may be treated as the conductive heat transfer with internal heat source and the molecular mass diffusion with internal mass source, respectively, and the ability of heat and mass transfer mainly depends on the strength of the heat source and mass source; the higher the temperature of the drying media, the lower the strength of the internal heat source, but the higher that of the internal mass sources; (b) the evaporation of internal water takes place inside the whole material, and the molecular mass diffusion of the internal vapor is in the direction of decreasing mass transfer potential, not along the decreasing partial pressure of vapor.

The paper deals with biofuel drying process efficiency opportunities.Research was carried out with a special stand and performingexperiments. Experimental rig consists of an ultrasonic generator,ultrasonic transducer, a drying chamber and the humidity,temperature gauge. Tests were used for wood pellets. During theexperiment, they were irrigated with water, dried with hot air andadditionally exposed to different frequency ultrasonic vibrations.The tests results have showed that the convective drying processis combined with the ultrasonic vibrations, the drying time isreduced, which means a positive impact on the ultrasonic process.Studies have confirmed that the effectiveness of convectivedrying method combined with operating ultrasonic vibrationsincreases. Santrauka Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos biokuro džiovinimo proceso efektyvumo didinimo galimybės. Tyrimams atlikti sukurtas specialus stendas ir sudaryta eksperimento atlikimo metodika. Eksperimentinį stendą sudaro ultragarsinis generatorius, ultragarsinis keitiklis, džiovinimo kamera ir drėgmės, temperatūros matuokliai. Buvo tiriamos medžio granulės. Eksperimento metu jos buvo drėkinamos vandeniu, džiovinamos karštu oru ir papildomai veikiamos skirtingo dažnio ultragarsiniais virpesiais. Atlikus bandymus, rezultatai parodė, kad, veikiant konvekcinio džiovinimo procesą ultragarsiniais virpesiais, džiovinimo laikas sutrumpėja. Tai reiškia teigiamą ultragarso poveikį procesui. Tyrimais patvirtintas konvekcinio džiovinimo metodo efektyvumo, papildomai veikiant ultragarsiniais virpesiais, padidėjimas.

The article covers results of research of drying process of apricot fruits by the method of three-stage energy supply. The main stages of drying have been defined, including: pulsed infrared heating, instantaneous pressure impact, convective drying. Optimal technological parameters of energy supply in the process of drying apricot fruits at each stage have been developed. The choice of the method for the experimental determination of the drying speed by the parameters of the drying agent for the capillary-porous material is substantiated. The sequence of changes in moisture content in a given material under the influence of a three-stage energy supply is described. The conditions for drying fruits are established and the values of the drying speed in the first period for various methods of energy supply have been selected.
