A newly devised dryer with heated air for the farm products, especially suited for high water content materials such as red pepper, Beer ground, each Vegetables, and Low water content materials such as Rough rice was tested for its thermal efficiency and drying mechanism, and the optimum conditions for each sample were established. In order to improve the present rural situation of drying farm products which entirely dependent upon natural solar radiation, a study upon an economic multi-parpose dryer was conducted. A series of drying tests were run first with red pepper which is one of the important cash crop in Korean farm. And successive series of tests were also run with such proaucts as garlic, sweet potatoes, green onion, radish, Beer ground and Rough rice. The results from the above experiment in drying system with heat dryer can be summarized as follows. 1. Drying duration could be shortened by the tempering effect in high water content crop such as red pepper and beer ground. 2. The color changes occured in around 20% water content in red pepper. The degree of color change was heavily affected by high temperature and short drying duration. 3. The drying condition of red pepper was most favourable at the temperature of 85$^{\circ}C$ in early stage and 80$^{\circ}C$ in middle stage and 75$^{\circ}C$ at the final stage, and with the air rate of 0.81㎥/sec and with sample amount of 200kg. 4. The drying condition of Rough rice(I.R.667) was most favourable at the templature of 40$^{\circ}C$ in early stage and 35$^{\circ}C$ in middle stage and final stage and with the air rate of 0.2㎥/sec and with sample amount of 75kg. 5. In order to prevent the color change of red pepper and to assure high efficiency in drying mechanism, it was necessary to lower the temperature as the time passes in drying process. 6. For vege tables, the drying rate were short in early stage and there was also tempering effect. However, for garlics, Constant drying rates through the early and final stages were observed and there were no tempering effects. 7. The drying condition or capability were as follows; Sample drying temp($^{\circ}C$) amount of material(kg) drying time(hr) Red pepper 85 200 9 Garlic 85 150 7 Sweet potato 85 200 6 Green Onion 85 200 4 Carrot 85 200 4 Radish 90 250 4 Rough rice(I.R.667) 35 75 4 Beer ground 90 320 3 Considering the above result of experiments, if this kind of dryers were distributed Korean farm and the optimun process were practiced in rural area, it would certainly help them improving the qualites of their product preventing their undue losses, and thus assuring an increase of Korean farm income and promotion of their living standards.

본 연구에서는 단순 폐기 되는 농업폐기물(토마토, 고추, 파프리카)을 고형연료로 재활용하기 위한 열풍건조장치를 개발하고 실험을 통해 그 성능을 확인하고자 하였다. 연구를 위해 건조용량 500 kg/hr인 쓰레기소각장 폐열을 열원으로 사용하는 건조기를 제작하였다. 경상남도 진주시 농산물 시장에서 구입한 남해산 시금치를 실험원료로 사용하였다. 열교환기에서 스팀 열교환에 의해 가열된 건조공기를 열풍으로 사용하여 절단 원료 투입량(126, 250, 300 kg), 원료교반여부(수동 교반, 수동 비교반), 건조방식(건조물 정치, 건조물 이송), 건조시간(0.25, 0.5, 0.6 hr)에 따른 건조특성을 파악하였다. 투입 원료의 함수율은 85.65%로 측정되었으며, 소각장 공급 스팀에 의해 열교환기에서 가열된 건조공기온도는 건조기에 투입된 실험원료의 퇴적고에 따른 압력저항에 의해 다소 차이를 보였으며 약 108 내지 144℃로 측정되었다. 동일 건조방식, 투입량, 건조시간, 건조공기온도에서 상하층간 원료를 교반하는 하는 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 약 2배 정도의 높은 건조속도를 보였다. 각 실험에서 건조용량은 약 500 kg/hr으로 나타났다. 국내 농산물 건조기 157개의 농업실용화재단 검사성적서를 기준으로 투입 에너지에 대한 건조 소요에너지 비를 나타내는 건조효율을 비교한 결과 국내 농산물 건조기 57.76%, 개발된 농업폐기물 건조기 33.46%로 기존 농산물 건조기에 비해 낮게 나타났다. 개발된 농업폐기물 건조기는 건조시간이 1시간 이내로 건조시간이 짧으며, 건조 중 많은 풍량이 손실되어 건조효율이 저하된 것으로 판단되었다. 소각장 폐열을 직접 건조열원으로 사용하는 경우 건조공기온도는 최저 160℃ 이상으로 예상 되는 바 건조용량이 크게 향상될 것으로 예측된다.

Simulation model was developed to analyze drying process for tray type red pepper dryer and validated by experiments. This model could predict satisfactorily temperatures and moisture contents of red pepper and temperatures of drying air during drying. Optimize algorithm was developed to search control valiables (drying air temperature, air recycle ratio and air flow rate) of red pepper dryer based on a criterion of minimizing energy consumption under the constraint conditions that statisfied carotenoid retension of at least 210mg per 100g dry matter, the moisture content of bottom layer of 15% (d.b) and drying time of less than 35 hours. Step changes in drying air temperature and air recycle ratio were considered in the optimization. In single step in control variables, the difference of the moisture content between top layer and bottom layer was great and more fan power was required. As the drying trays were exchanged when the moisture content of bottom layer reached to 100% (d.b), fifty percent of energy was saved and the difference of moisture content was little. In double step changes in control variables, optimal conditions were found by changing the step when the moisture content of bottom layer reached to 100% (d.b) (about 19.8 hours from starting drying). Optimum air flow rate was $18.1cmm/m^2$. Optimum drying air temperature and air recycle ratio in the first step was $55.8^{\circ}C$ and 0.80, and in the second step $65.6^{\circ}C$ and 0.88, respectively. In triple step changes in control variables, the optimal conditions were found by changing the steps when the moisture content of bottom layer reached to 250% (d.b) and 150% (d.b). Optimal air temperatures were $66.2^{\circ}C$, $58.4^{\circ}C$ and $66.9^{\circ}C$, and optimal air recycle ratios were 0.778, 0.785, 0.862 at each step, respectively. Optimal air flow rate was $18.9cmm/m^2$. The best operating mode was triple step mode considering energy consumption, drying time, fan power, and quality of dried red pepper. When the triple step mode was used to dry the red pepper, the energy consumption was about 16.5%~57.2% less than that of the single step mode and the drying time was 6.6 hours shorter than that of the double step mode.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the microwave drying characteristics of mixtures of chemical wastewater sludge (70~90%) and anthracite coal (10~30%) with respect to physical and economic factors such as mass, volume reduction, moisture content, drying rate and heating value when the wastes were dried at different weight mixing ratio and for different microwave irradiation time. The drying process were carried out in a microwave oven, the combined drying process with a 2,450 MHz frequency and 1 kW of power. Maximum dry rates per unit area on the microwave drying of mixtures with chemical wastewater sludge and anthracite coal were $35.5kg\;H_2O/m^2{\cdot}hr$ for Cs90-Ac10; $40.1kg\;H_2O/m^2{\cdot}hr$ for Cs80-Ac20 and $35.0kg\;H_2O/m^2{\cdot}hr$ for Cs70-Ac30. The result clearly indicated that moisture can be effectively and inexpensively removed from the wastes through use of the microwave drying process.

IIn this study, we have developed drying systems for reducing the error by humidity on measuring particulate matter (PM) in the ambient air with optical particle measuring instruments. Two types of drying systems were designed: drying systems using heating and dilution methods. In addition, 3 types of drying systems using a heating method were designed: Type A (1 hole), B (3 holes) and C (7 holes). After making them, the laboratory and field tests were carried out to evaluate the developed drying systems. As a result, it was shown that the PM concentrations obtained by PM monitoring devices with drying systems agree well with that of the reference devices. Therefore, it could be concluded that the drying systems can be applied to PM monitoring devices for real-time monitoring of the ambient aerosols.

유기성폐기물의 수열처리 기술은 고온에서 운전하여 에너지 소비가 큰 열분해 탄화기술의 단점을 보완하기 위한 방법으로, 세포벽을 파괴하여 탈수성을 향상시켜 탈수공정에서 함수율을 약 40% 수준까지 낮출 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있어 유기성폐기물의 고형연료화 분야에서 전 세계적으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수열처리가 유기성폐기물의 건조효율에 미치는 영향에 대하여 평가하였다. 대상물질로는 대표적인 유기성폐기물인 하수슬러지와 음식물류폐기물을 이용하여 $200^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안 수열처리한 후 건조효율 변화를 관찰하였다. 유기성폐기물은 수열처리 후에 건조시간이 단축되어 $100^{\circ}C$에서 건조한 음식물류폐기물의 경우 원시료보다 건조시간이 52.9% 감소하였다. 따라서 수열탄화 반응이 하수슬러지와 음식물류폐기물의 건조효율을 상승시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 건조특성곡선의 예열기간에서 건조속도가 원시료 대비하여 각각 148%($80^{\circ}C$ 하수슬러지), 151%($100^{\circ}C$ 하수슬러지), 209%($80^{\circ}C$ 음식물류폐기물), 366%($100^{\circ}C$ 음식물류폐기물)로 모든조건에서 증가되는 것으로 보아 수열반응에서 세포벽이 파괴되면서 표면적이 늘어났음을 간접적으로 파악할 수 있었다. 건조시간이 단축됨에 따라 한계함수율이 높아져 감율건조기간이 증가하였으므로 이에 주의하여야 하며, 탄화정도에 따라 건조효율이 더 개선될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The nano-sized zirconia powders were synthesized in an impregnation method using pulp and $ZrOCl_2{\cdot}8H_2O$ as an initial material. The synthesized powders were characterized by XRD and FE-SEM. The particle size of the powder was controlled by preparation conditions, such as drying temperature and time. As a result of the various drying and calcination conditions, 30~50 nm sized homogeneous zirconia particles were obtained at $800^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. Crystallization and the rapid growth of particles were accelerated with increasing calcination temperature and time. Tetragonal phase generated below $800^{\circ}C$ were transferred to monoclinic phase with increasing calcination temperature and time. Moreover, above $800^{\circ}C$, heat treatment time had very large influence on the particle growth, and the change of drying condition also had large influence on the growth of a crystal.

The look up table method conventionally applied to control the inner temperature and humidity of a laver drying machine has repeatedly occurred not only laver's damage but also inferior goods since the reaching time at the optimum state takes a long time. In this paper, a fuzzy control theory instead of the look up table was proposed to reduce the reaching time at the optimum state. The proposed method used six input variables and four output variables for the fuzzy control, and a triangle rule for a fuzzifier, The Mandani's min-max method was applied to a fuzzy inference. Also, the mean method of maximum was applied to a defuzzifier. The method applied to the fuzzy controller contributed to reduce the reaching time at the optimum state, and to minimize not only laver's damage but also inferior goods.

Four models in current use for cereal grain drying, equilibrium model, Morey model, partial differential equation model and simplified partial differential equation model, were modified to be suitable for natural air drying of barley. The predicted by the four models and experimental results were compared. Three models except equilibrium model predicted moisture comtent and grain temperature very well. But equilibrium model overpredicted moisture content and grain temperature of bottom layer. The degree of prediction of the four models for relative humidities of exhaust air didn't differ much from one another and equally the four models predicted relative humidity statisfatorily. Morey model took much shorter computing time than any other models. Therefore, considering the degree of prediction and computing time Morey model was the most suitable for natural air drying of barley.
