Chakraborty, Sourav; Sarma, Mousumi; Bora, Jinku; Faisal, Shah; Hazarika, Manuj Kumar.
Abstract: Thin layer drying kinetic analysis of paddy dried under low temperature conditions (20-40°C), was carried out by using six different types of models. Among which, Midilli model showed best fitted result with highest R2 and lowest RMSE and SSE values. It was observed that the drying rate constant k increased with the increase in drying temperature. For finding the effect of temperature, Midilli model was generalized by using two approaches namely globalization of drying rate constant and master curve technique. Master curve technique gave better fit with a R2 value of 0.998 than the global drying constant model. ANN modeling was also used to find out proper drying kinetics of paddy. Best architecture for the ANN modeling was 2-55-1, which showed...

Ali, Muhammad Azhar; Zulfiqar, Adnan; Arif, Atta Muhammad; Khan, Abdul-Rahim; Iqbal, Zafar; Khan, Muhammad Azam.
Natural products are more preferred by consumers now-a-days over the synthetic ones. Therefore a natural fruit coating was developed from natural ingredients (shellac, rosin, gum arabic, water and ethanol from sugar industry) without ammonia or morpholine as an alternative to the synthetic coatings. So this research was devised to compare the effects of this newly developed natural fruit coating (with 9% total solids) with those of synthetic one (polyethylene based ammonia containing wax with 21% total solids) on the postharvest quality of kinnow (Citrus reticulata Blanco) mandarins. The kinnow mandarins were either coated with natural or synthetic fruit coatings or were left uncoated and stored at 5±2°C with 85-90% relative humidity for 63 days with five...

Effect of Some Dozer Design Parameters on Dozer Productivity CIGR Journal
Emam, Mohamed Ali; Shaaban, Sayed M.; El Damerdash, Samir M.; Adel Shalaby, Ola.
In this paper, a study for the effect of design parameters of dozers on their productivity is done by using the productivity-related data given in manuals of three different tracked dozer brands. The major design parameters that have been chosen in the study are the dozer weight, the dozer blade type and blade capacity and they approximately have the same power to weight ratio. Empirical equations for calculating the productivity for each brand have also been developed by using data-fit program. Finally, it has been concluded that the blade capacity stands as the most significant parameter as the dozer productivity increases by sixty percent in average whenever the blade capacity increases by twenty five percent.
