The work is devoted to the issue of the rational use of the solar energy in the technological process of fruit drying based on the use of solar drying devices, which are applied in various sections of the agro-industrial centers of Ukraine. The aim of this research was intensification of the fruits drying process using the solar energy by combining an air collector and drying chamber into a single power unit. To achieve the aim the heat exchange diagnostic techniques with alternative potentials of diffusion and moisture transfer was developed. This technique differs from those existing for the heat exchange research in that it allows the intensity of the moisture evaporation from a unit of the material surface to be calculated, based on the synthesis of the moisture content and the irreversible major laws of processes of the heat exchange characteristics of the fruits drying using the solar dryer. The above model makes it possible to diagnose the heat exchange processes and analyze the mathematical model of the heat exchange processes. It also allows modeling the changeable diffusion and moisture transfer potentials based on the dependences obtained and for the purpose of a further application in the methods and devices development to control the strain-deformed state of the fruits during the drying process. The method is offered for the calculation of diffusion and moisture transfer during drying fruits in the solar dryer.

An experimental setup, a mini-cabinet with reflector at its top, has been designed to study the drying process of jujube fruit by the convection and the solar radiation with hot air convection. The research experimentally investigated the drying characteristics and behavior of heat and mass transfer. Also, drying curves were analyzed. It demonstrated that solar energy could play an important role in promoting heat and mass transfers and saves energy consumed. The optimum conditions of appropriated temperature and humidity were obtained to save energy in solar energy convection drying process.

This paper describes a solar energy collector system for providing process heat to a textile drying process in a WestPoint Pepperell mill in Fairfax, Alabama. The solar collector system uses 24 single axis tracking parabolic trough concentrating collectors to heat water in a high temperature water loop. The high temperature water fuels a steam generator to provide process steam. The process that was solarized is a textile drying process using cylindrical can dryers. The dryers are utilized in the slashing operation, a textile process where yarn is treated with sizing in preparation for weaving.

Drying Time

Drying process is one of important stage in handling of agricultural products. However, this process required much energy to remove moisture from the product. Because of that, it was needed a dryer to remove water from inside of products. A dryer with solar energy as a heat source combined with heat energy from corncob biomass was designed and used in corn dried. The dryer is usually known as green house effect-hybrid (GHE-hybrid). GHE-hybrid consists of absorber, product holder, fans to remove moisture from dried product, heat exchanger, stove and water tank. The heat source used in dryer comes from solar radiation and biomass burned in stove. The objective of this research was to evaluate performance of dryer use solar energy and corncob as heating sources. Results of this research showed that drying process of 1526 kg of corn with initial moisture content 25.7% wet basic until 16.7% wet basic needed drying time of 14 hours. The corncobs that were needed to remove the moisture was about 180 kg. The energy calculated in this drying process from corncob, diesel fuel, solar radiation which were about 3150 MJ or 62%, 1739.71MJ or 34%, 204.94 MJ or 4%, respectively. The research also found that the thermal eficiency of dryer was 28%, eficiency of drying heat was 59.62%, total eficiency was 11.23% and specific energy consumption was 31522,52 kJ/kg.

Abstract A study was executed in 2016 to determine the efficiency of two different neutralizers on odor perception from a sludge drying process. One of the products was injected by fogging system at the inlet of the odor control unit while the other was added directly to the washing solution of the last stage of the odor control unit, according to supplier recommendations. Performance evaluations encompassed complementary approaches including both sensorial analyses and analytical measures. Odor analyses were performed via dynamic olfactometry according to European Standard EN 13725 coupled with hedonic tone approach according to VDI 3882. Additional analyses on VOC emissions were conducted using gas chromatography screening. In parallel, several odor panels composed of site operators and plant neighbors carried out observations on the WWTP and its perimeter. The main conclusions of this study illustrates: • Only one test leads to a reduction of the odor concentration at the stack, • Overall, neither of the two masking agents significantly reduce the odor concentration at the stack, • The addition of masking agent seems to increase foul odor persistency, • The local odor panel observed no significant improvement in odor reduction within the environment around the WWTP.

To investigate sludge drying process, a numerical simulation based on Brownian dynamic for the floc with uncharged and charged particles was conducted. The Langevin equation is used as dynamical equation for tracking each particle in a floc. An initial condition and periodic boundary condition which well conformed to reality is used for calculating the floc growth process. Each cell consists of 1000 primary particles with diameter 0.1 ∼ 4 μm. Floc growth is related to the thermal force and the electrostatic force. The electrostatic force on a particle in the simulation cell is considered as the sum of electrostatic forces from other particles in the original cell and its replicate cells. It is assumed that flocs are charged with precharged primary particles in dispersion system by ionization. By the analysis of the simulation figures, on one hand, the effects of initial particle size and sludge density on floc smashing time, floc radius of gyration, and fractal dimension were discussed. On the other hand, the effects of ionization on floc smashing time and floc structure were presented. This study has important practical value in the high-turbidity water treatment, especially for sludge drying.

A complete study for a solar dryer is shown. In this work the lemon drying process is considered. Also, results for temperature distribution, currents lines velocities and density distribution are presented inside of the dryer chamber. Curves for dried are obtained when the lost mass of the lemon is measured. For this purpose, a digital balance is used and during several intervals of time the measures are done. A Compact Field point device of National Instrument is used to measure temperatures inside of the chamber in the dryer. Thermocouples k-type were placed in different points. By acquisition data, the values of temperature were measured for the test. By means of software (ANSYS) is discretized the inner zone and using the temperatures as boundary conditions. Solving the system defined for the equations according to the mesh defined, temperature, velocities and densities are determined. The results allowing to identify what is the behavior inside of the dryer and how the drying process happens. This way to study the drying process can be useful when the behavior inside of the chamber wants to be evaluated. In addition, this work can be useful in the design of solar dryers because allows to know how the trays can be placed to take advantage in the best way the solar energy in solar dryers.
