In tradition, there have been two kinds of drying methods, which are sun drying and artificial drying. The sun drying method which has been adopted traditionally has been replaced by the hot-air drying method which is one of the most general methods of artificial drying, with its simple drying system, low initial cost of drying plant, and easy operating method. But the hot-air drying method has some defects ; (1)much energy loss happens due to the discharge of hot air during the drying process, (2)control of drying rate is not easy on account of changing relative humidity of inlet air for uniform hot air temperature, (3)high temperature of floods in drying process brings about the production of low-grade drying products. Also, the hot-air drying method is inducing environmental and sanitary problems which are resulting from the emission of high temperature and high humidity air, including stick on the drying progress. Vacuum drying technique, whose drying time and 7uantity of exhausting energy is about 1/3 ~1/4 of hot air drying, is very excellent in the drying efficiency. As the results, it took about 20 hours for material to reach about 18% of the final moisture content in order to store products for a long time, from about 470% of the early moisture content at the beginning of drying, and maximum drying rate comes to about $0.35 kg/m^2hr$ at about 350% of the moisture content.

보은 화강암 풍화토에 대한 불포화 특성을 조사하기 위하여 자동 흙-함수특성곡선 시험장치를 이용하여 건조 및 습윤과정에 따른 모관흡수력과 체적함수비를 측정하였다. 이를 토대로 van Genuchten(1980)의 방법을 이용하여 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC)을 산정한 결과 유효포화도에 따른 모관흡수력은 S자형의 비선형적인 관계를 나타내며, 건조 및 습윤과정을 거치는 동안 이력현상이 발생되었다. Lu and Likos(2006)의 방법을 이용하여 흡입응력특성곡선(SSCC)을 산정한 결과 유효포화도가 낮은 경우 건조과정의 흡입응력은 일정하게 유지되나 습윤과정의 흡입응력은 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 그러나 유효포화도가 큰 경우에는 동일한 유효포화도에서 건조과정의 흡입응력이 습윤과정의 흡입응력보다 크게 발생되었다. 한편 계수추정방법의 하나인 van Genuchten(1980)의 방법을 이용하여 투수계수함수(HCF)를 산정한 결과 모관흡수력이 증가함에 따라 불포화 투수계수는 감소하며, 모관흡수력에 따른 불포화 투수계수의 감소 속도는 건조과정이 습윤과정보다 더 크게 발생됨을 알 수 있다.

Vacuum drying takes advantage of energy saving and mass production because it reduces the drying time by increasing the drying rate under low temperature condition. The aim of this paper is to develop the low temperature vacum dryer, with low initial investments and operating costs, easy operating method and trouble-free operation.

Low temperature vacuum drying technique, whose drying time and quantity of exhausting energy is about 25~30% of hot air drying, is very excellent in the drying efficiency. This paper is made out in the aspects of heat engineering with the object of developing Korean drying machine which can dry once a large quantity of objects to be dried in the state of low temperature and vacuum. As the results, it took about 17 hours(3~4 days in case of hot air drying) for material to reach about 18% of the final moisture content in order to store products for a long time, from about 78~80% of the early moisture content at the beginning of drying, and maximum drying rate comes to about 0.35 kg/m2hr at about 400% of the moisture content.

This paper suggests the optimal conditions for the laundry to prevent from the electrostatic charge by the evaluation of the electrostatic characteristics in the full process of washing and drying. Cotton, nylon, and polyester fabrics were used as test washing specimens. Detergent and softener were used under the standard washing cycle, and then the electrostatic characteristics of laundry were measured. The results showed that the moisture regain decreased and the electrostatic charge increased with the drying time. It was observed that the specimen fabrics were already dried up before the standard drying cycle was finished. Consequently, the excessive drying caused a generation of electrostatic charge due to the removal of the trace of moisture remaining and the excessive friction. Especially, the softener played an important role to prevent from a generation of electrostatic charge, whose insertion was more effective in the drying than in the rinsing process. It was also shown that the electrostatic charge could be decreased by drying the fabrics of one kind. On the other hand, for drying the mixed kinds of fabrics, the electrostatic charge increased remarkably. Therefore we suggest that the laundry be classified according to the kinds of fiber, and then be washed and dried before excessive drying to reduce electrostatic charge And further, a proper use of softener is effective to reduce electrostatic charge.

양송이버섯을 열풍건조, 진공건조, 동결건조를 이용하여 건조하고 건조조건 및 방법에 따른 물리적 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 양송이버섯은 초기수분함량이 90%(w.b.) 이상의 높은 수분함량을 가진 농산물이며, 건조방법에 따른 건조시간을 비교 분석한 결과 열풍건조시 가장 빠른 건조시간(12 h)을 나타내었으며, 동결건조의 경우 열풍건조에 비하여 약 8시간정도 오래 걸리는 것으로 나타났다. 색차를 나타내는 ${\Delta}E$값은 높은 온도와 빠른 풍속, 그리고 낮은 진공도에서 점차 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 전체적인 색도변화는 동결건조된 양송이버섯이 생버섯과 비교할 때 변화가 가장 적었으며, 열풍건조된 양송이버섯은 색차가 크게 나타났다. 갈변도 변화는 열풍건조에서 높은 값을 나타내었고 동결건조에서 갈변도 변화가 가장 적었으며, 건조풍속 및 진공도의 영향보다 건조온도의 영향을 더 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 표면 경도의 경우 열풍건조에서 가장 높은 값을 나타내었으며 반면에 동결건조에서 경도변화가 가장 적었다. 재수화 특성을 분석한 결과 동결건조의 경우 조직사이의 공극이 크기 때문에 열풍건조 및 진공건조의 경우보다 흡수량이 많았으며 흡수되는 시간도 초기에 급격히 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

Image processing technique was adapted for exploring the more convenient ways to investigate the drying characteristics of wood. The acquisition of information about drying characteristics is indispensable for the development or improvement of dry-kiln schedules. A small internal fan type wood dry kiln was combined with image-processing and data-acquisition systems to monitor continuously the formation of checks and moisture reduction during drying. All the images and data were analyzed to improve or estimate the dry-kiln schedules and predict the drying time which would be required to dry green wood to 10% moisture content in internal fan type kiln. Samples of 20 mm- and 50 mm-thick Metasequoia glyptostrobodies, Paulownia coreana Uyeki, Pinus densiflora Sieb. Et Zucc., Platanus occidentalis L., Quercus acutissima and Robinia pseudo-acacia were used to verify the potentiality of this technique.

A drying model to predict the drying process in continuous dryer was developed and proved by drying experiments. The experiment showed that the difference of moisture contents between the predicted and the observed was within 0.5%(wb). There was no cracked rice found even in high drying rate with the inlet moisture content over 23%(wb), and tempering treatment in the same temperature reduced the ratio of cracked rice. There was a little difference in the ratio of cracked rice between 40$^{\circ}C$ and 45$^{\circ}C$ drying temperatures with the final drying moisture content (14.5% wb), and the cracked rice increased at 55$^{\circ}C$. As a results, it was better to make fast drying on the rice over 23%(wb) inlet content it was recommended to keep drying at 45$^{\circ}C$.

Purpose: This study was performed to define the drying characteristics of sorghum by developing thin layer drying equations and evaluating various grain drying equations. Thin layer drying equations lay the foundation characteristics to establish the thick layer drying equations, which can be adopted to determine the design conditions for an agricultural dryer. Methods: The drying rate of sorghum was measured under three levels of drying temperature ($40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, and $60^{\circ}C$) and relative humidity (30%, 40%, and 50%) to analyze the drying process and investigate the drying conditions. The drying experiment was performed until the weight of sorghum became constant. The experimental constants of four thin layer drying models were determined by developing a non-linear regression model along with the drying experiment results. Result: The half response time (moisture ratio = 0.5) of drying, which is an index of the drying rate, was increased as the drying temperature was high and relative humidity was low. When the drying temperature was $40^{\circ}C$ at a relative humidity (RH) of 50%, the maximum half response time of drying was 2.8 h. Contrastingly, the maximum half response time of drying was 1.2 h when the drying temperature was $60^{\circ}C$ at 30% RH. The coefficient of determination for the Lewis model, simplified diffusion model, Page model, and Thompson model was respectively 0.9976, 0.9977, 0.9340, and 0.9783. The Lewis model and the simplified diffusion model satisfied the drying conditions by showing the average coefficient of determination of the experimental constants and predicted values of the model as 0.9976 and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.0236. Conclusion: The simplified diffusion model was the most suitable for every drying condition of drying temperature and relative humidity, and the model for the thin layer drying is expected to be useful to develop the thick layer drying model.
