A microcomputer-based on-line monitoring and controlling system was built and applied to the dehycration operation. Drying conditions-drying temperatures and air velocities-were successfully controlled by the control deveices incorporated on/off realy and thyristor, and with the high language program. Drying variables-temperature in drier and weight loss of radish slice were accurately measured and acquisited. The computer-based drying system effectively saved the man power required to measure and record data during the drying period and also made possible to conduct the process undisturbed for long period. The drying rate curves of radish at various drying conditions were obtained from automatic data analyzing program. And also the computer programmed control made possible to investigate the effect of air velocity change during the drying period. The dynamic change of air velocity of from one to another level could be performed and affected markedly the drying rate at first stages of drying, but no significant effect were found in falling rate period.

Shiitake mushrooms were dried by hot air, far infrared and freeze dryers in order to compare qualities after drying. When hot air drying was performed with the four temperature variations ranged from $45\;to\;70^{\circ}C$, there was tendency to increase volume retention but decrease rehydration ratio, as drying temperature increased. And the largest amout of 5'-GMP was contained in mushroom dried at $50^{\circ}C$. For far infrared drying, volume retentions were lower but rehydration ratios were higher, as compared with hot air drying at the same temperature. In freeze drying, freezing rate had no influence on volume retention but rehydration ratio was highest value when frozen at $-18^{\circ}C$. As shelf temperature increased(drying rate increased), rehydration ratio increased. Also, contents of 5'-AMP, 5'-GMP and 5'-XMP increased with the increase of freezing rate and drying rate.

A two-dimensional mathematical model was developed to predict the temperature and moisture-content profiles of a tumble dryer during infrared drying. The model is based on the movements of liquid water and moisture in the object and on the fluid and heat transfer in the drying air. The model was solved by the finite volume analysis for the fluid, temperature, and radiation intensity fields. After deriving the governing equations and developing the two-dimensional tumble dryer models, numerical investigations were carried out to examine the effects of various parameters such as the heater temperature and the heating patterns on the drying mechanism of the tumble dryer. All the results show that the drying time can be reduced by using the IR heater.

원적외선 세라믹 건조기를 개발하기 위하여 탄화규소가 주원료로한 세라믹 발열판을 제작하여 건조기 내부에 설치하여 실험하였다. 발열판 장착위치에 따른 실험결과 위치는 큰 변수가 되지 않았고, 기존 5[kW]용량의 씨즈 히터를 2[kW]의 세라믹 발열판으로 대체하면서 에너지절약형 원적피선 세라믹 건조기를 제작할 수 있었다. 또한 발열판 자제 온도 분포를 측정한 결과 시간이 흐름에 따라 온도 분포는 약진의 차이가 있기는 하지만 대체적으로 근일한 분포를 나타내었다. 사용에 따른 경년변화를 측정하기 위해 90시간 동안 부하를 걸어 실험하였지만 발열판 자체의 저항이나 소비 전력의 변화는 나타나지 않았다.

SrZrO$_3$ resistive oxides on Ag tapes were prepared by the sol-gel and dip coating method to investigate the effect of PVP content and drying condition on microstructure of the films. Although the film thickness increased with the addition of PVP, the amount of PVP and heat treatment were not effective to reduction of formation of microcracks at the films. However, lower drying temperature and longer drying time were beneficial to control the microcracks of the SrZrO$_3$ films, indicating that the microcracking of the films was governed primarily by the drying condition.

Fracture analysis of coating cracking on a substrate system described in a companion paper was applied and verified by four-point bending tests. The multiple cracking of coating was predicted using a fracture mechanics approach. The strain energy release rate (G) due to the formation of a new crack in a coating was obtained. A crack density vs. strain data of metallic and polymeric substrate was used to get the in-situ fracture toughness of coating with respect to various baking time and temperature. The $G_c$ was decreased as the baking temperature and time was increased. This paper gave insight about usefulness of four-point bending test for fracture toughness evaluation of coating and it gave a new method for in-situ coating toughness.

A sublimation model of the freeze drying process, which accounted for the removal of free water, was presented and used to study the operation conditions of freeze driers for carrot juice. It was found that the shortest drying time was obtained when the condenser temperature and chamber pressure were kept at heir lowest values and the plate temperature was controlled independently so that the scorch and melting constraints were both held throughout the drying period. The effect of sample thickness on the drying time was significant. Optimal policies were investigated experimentally in laboratory freeze dryer.

This study was to experiment, through sewage sludge treatment by Vacuum Drying Method, variation of water content with reaction pressure, reaction time, reaction temperature. The result are as follows; The water content decreased with the same reaction temperature and reaction time at lower pressure and 360~40 mmHg (a close vacuum) showed lower water content at low reaction temperature and short reaction time. The water content rapidly decreased with the same reaction pressure and time at low reaction temperature (above $120^{\circ}C$).

Press drying was used on italian poplar (Populus euamericana) to find the profitable means of drying. This study was designed to investigate the process of platen drying considering core temperature, drying time, current moisture content, drying rate, shrinkage and recovery, and green volume specific gravity, equilibrium moisture content and dimensional stability of press dried material and air dried material, The drying tests were conducted using 1.5 centimeter thick material at platen temperature of $175^{\circ}C$. The results were summarized as follows. 1. Core temperature was divided into three stages of drying characterized by period initial heating, plateau temperature and rising core temperature. Plateau temperature was 114 to $119^{\circ}C$. 2. The following predicting equations of drying time(y) in different core temperatures were developed for initial thickness($x_1$), initial moisture content ($x_2$) and final moisture content ($x_3$) 3. The predicting equaltion of current moisture content(u) was log u=4.658-0.060t as funtion of drying time(t) and that of drying rate(r) was log r=-2.797-0.049t. Current moisture content and drying rate of air drying were shown in figure 2. 4. The predicting equation of shrinkage in thickness direction(y) was log y=1.933+0.038t as function of drying time(t), and that of expansion in width direction was $y=-0.692+0.043t-0.001t^2$. 5. Thickness shrinkage was increased more than proportional at to pressure increase. Width shrinkage and thickness recovery was greatest at 35psi. 6. Green volume specific gravity of press dried material was 25% greater than that of air dried material. But equilibrium moisture content of press dried material was less 24% than that of air dried material. Antishrinkage efficiency of press dried material were obtained 27.7%.
