This research was proposed to applying stainless wire mesh porous material for specific energy consumption improvement of a hot air dryer. In experimental consist two main parts, first part was a comparison of drying with and without hot air recirculation duct. Second part was a comparison of drying with and without stainless wire mesh porous material in drying chamber and hot air recirculation duct. Tilapia was drying product, stainless wire mesh in drying chamber was constant PPI=8 and 6 layers, stainless wire mesh in hot air recirculation duct was constant PPI=8 and varied layer at 6, 8 and 12 layers and hot air recirculation ratio 40%, 60% and 80%. Experimental result was, drying with hot air recirculation duct was higher drying rate than without recirculation duct and drying rate was increased, drying time was decreased and SEC was decreased with increased hot air recirculation ratio. At recirculation ratio 80%, SEC was lowest and decreased to 54.52% compared with without recirculation duct. Therefrom, the stainless wire mesh porous materials were inserted in the drying chamber and recirculation duct at PPI=8, 6 layers and PPI=8, 12 layers, respectively and used recirculation ratio 80%, it was found that SEC was lowest and decreased as about 62.21%.

Massive consumption of energy in drying industry makes it a matter of challenge regarding economical aspects and limited recourses. Several methods for drying including hot air convection, vacuum, infrared and hot air convection-infrared technologies were applied in order to estimate the consumed energy during the drying of mulberry fruit. Moreover, microwave heating, chemical (ethyl oleate and potassium), mechanical (ultrasonic) and blanching (hot water) pretreatments were compared. According to the Results, maximum energy consumption was recorded when no pretreatment was performed. Microwave heating in the hot air convection-infrared dryer resulted in the lowest consumption of energy. Total energy requirement decreased with the temperature in the convection dryer res. Conversely, energy increased with air velocity. The vacuum dryer consumed the highest amount of energy which was measured to be 46.95 kWh while the lowest energy was recorded with using infrared-convective dryers. Also Experimental results showed that minimum and maximum specific energy consumption in the drying of black mulberry were associated with microwave pretreatment in IR-hot air dryer and control treatment in vacuum dryer, respectively. The minimum color change (?E) for drying of black mulberry was found in microwave pretreated samples dried with the vacuum dryer, yet maximum ?E was observed in hot air dryer when no pretreatment was applied.

Abstract A mathematical model and a numerical approach for the computation of the specific energy consumption, which is needed for warming up of flat furniture elements before their lacquering, have been suggested. The approach is based on the integration of the solutions of a non-linear model for the calculation of the nonstationary 1D temperature distribution along the thickness of subjected to unilateral convective heating furniture elements. With the help of a self-prepared software program, computations have been carried out for the determination of the change in the specific energy, which is consumed by oak furniture elements with an initial temperature of 20 °C, moisture content of 8 %, thickness of 16 mm, and length of 0.6 m, 1.2 m, and 1.8 m, during their 10 min unilateral convective heating by hot air with temperature of 100 °C and velocity of 5 m·s−1.

Abstract Okra pods were dried using the following drying regimes; microwave (MWD), infrared (IRD) and convective hot-air drying (CHD). The objective of this investigate was to report the influences of drying methods on okra quality under different drying conditions. Data analysis showed that rehydration ratio and colour change increased with increase in drying air temperature and air velocity while specific energy consumption and shrinkage ratio decreased with increase in drying air temperature under (CHD). The rehydration ratio and colour of dried okra increased with increase in both infrared intensity but it also increased with a decrease in air velocity under (IRD). In the MWD method, drying time, specific energy consumption and shrinkage ratio decreased with increases in microwave power while the rehydration ratio and colour increased. Optimum drying period, specific energy consumption, colour, shrinkage and rehydration ratio were obtained for microwave drying. The model of Midilli et al. is the greatest for describing the drying curves of okra under all the drying processing conditions.

Abstract. A corrugated-pipe drying column and a multipass drying concept (one-pass and two-pass drying) were proposed in this study to improve the performance and energy efficiency of a conventional pneumatic dryer for okara. The performance (in terms of volumetric water evaporation rate and volumetric heat transfer coefficient) and the energy efficiency of the dryer were evaluated. With the use of the corrugated-pipe drying column, the moisture reduction of the okara, the volumetric water evaporation rate, and the volumetric heat transfer coefficient were enhanced. The specific energy consumption (SEC) of the drying process was also improved. The maximum values of the volumetric water evaporation rate and the volumetric heat transfer coefficient of 765 kgwater m-3 h-1 and 6966 W m-3 K-1, respectively, were found when drying was performed by the system using the corrugated-pipe drying column. The lowest value of the SEC of 3.03 MJ kgwater-1 was also observed. The lowest final moisture content of okara obtained after the two-pass drying was around 0.72 kgwater kgdrysolid-1. Keywords: Corrugated pipe, Multipass drying, Okara, Pneumatic dryer, Specific energy consumption, Volumetric heat transfer coefficient, Volumetric water evaporation rate.

Grain Drying

Grain (Oryza sativa L) drying process is generally still done traditionally by direct sunlight. The drying process has several disadvantages such as it can only be done when sunlight is available, a longer drying time, a large area, requirement. An alternative that could be done to dry the grain in addition to using traditional drying was to use a grain dryer machines with do Wargi Mekar Farmer at Kerawang. There are several fuels that are used as heat sources for rice drying machines, one of them is firewood. This study aimed to measure the actual capacity of the wood-fired grain dryer, and also to analyzed the efficiency of drying and specific energy consumption to dry the grain. The research method used is descriptive analysis research method, namely data collection, data processing and data analysis. Research resulted that grain drying using a grain dryer as much as 761 kg.hr-1 . The yield of dry grain is 89.77%, and the value of weight loss is 10.33%. The moisture content of the material after drying is 13.06% wet basis. The drying efficiency in the process was 17.19% and the specific energy consumption was 15,318.24 KJ / Kg water vapor.
