The red ginseng is very popular as a health food. It has been manufactured with raw ginseng by the conventional method. But, the yield of the heaven grade ginseng (the best quality red ginseng) among the whole products is around 5-7％, Therefore, the yield should be improved in order to increase economic returns. In this study, a new model of drying system was developed to improve the yield of heaven grade ginseng from 7% to 15% or more. For this system, temperature and relative humidity were controlled by the feedback control system, and a solenoid valve for steam supply and other variables were controlled by the PC. The special features of this system developed are an image processing system for monitoring the red ginseng during the drying process in the drying chamber, and a cylindrical porous tray for holding ginseng that is rotating with the speed of 0-10rpm in the drying chamber and makes uniform drying of red ginseng possible.

반도체 소재인 웨이퍼의 세정공정중 마지막 단계인 건조공정을 환경친화적인 공정으로 개발하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. IPA(Isopropyl Alcohol)를 기화시키는 증기발생실과 웨이퍼를 건조하는 공정실로 구분하여 시스템을 설계하고 이를 이용하여 건조실험을 실시하였다. 건조효율에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자는 질소중의 IPA 농도로 나타났으며, 동일한 건조효율을 얻기 위해서 IPA의 사용량이 기존건조기보다 적은 것으로 나타났으며, 웨이퍼 표면이 수분과 산소로부터 차단되기 때문에 생산되는 웨이퍼의 입자오염이 감소하는 결과를 나타냈다.

This study was to examine the drying characteristics of barley and the effect of moisture content of barley on milling performance. A barley variety, Jogang, having 35.0% of initial moisture content was used for this experiment. Thermo-hydrostatic dryer which consists of blower, condensor, heater, humidifier, drying chamber and control box, etc., was used for the drying experiment. The change in the weight of a barley sample was continuously measured by means of the ring type load cell installed inside the drying chamber. Milling test runs the samples having the predetermined moisture content were taken from each drying test run. A laboratory type barley miller was used for the milling test. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. The drying constants (k) applied for the thin layer drying model, (M-Me)/(Mo-Me) = $Ae^{-kt}$ were 0.155, 0.259 and 0.548, respectively, at the three levels of drying temperatures, $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$. The drying constants complied with the Arrhenius Equation, K = Ko exp (-C/T), were determined as $Ko=1.901455{\times}10^8$ and C = 6563. 2. The laboratory milling test indicated that the highest milled and head barley recovery was resulted from the sample which was dryed at $40^{\circ}C$. In general, the increase in the drying temperature from $40^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ indicated a negative effect on milling yields. 3. Also, the sample having 15% M.C. presented the highest milled and head barley recovery among the five moisture content levels (12, 15, 18,21 and 24%).

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to construct the solar drying system with evacuated tubular solar collector and to investigate its performance in comparison with indoor and outdoor dryings. Methods: Solar drying system was constructed with using CPC (compound parabolic concentrator) evacuated tubular solar collector. Solar drying system is mainly composed of evacuated tubular solar collector with CPC reflector, storage tank, water-to-air heat exchanger, auxiliary heater, and drying chamber. Performance test of solar drying system was conducted with drying of agricultural products such as sliced radish, potato, carrot, and oyster mushroom. Drying characteristics of agricultural products in solar drying system were compared with those of indoor and outdoor ones. Results: Solar drying system showed considerable effect on reducing the half drying time for all drying samples. However, outdoor drying was more effective than indoor drying on shortening the half drying time for all of drying samples. Solar drying system and outdoor drying for oyster mushroom showed the same half drying time. Conclusions: Oyster mushroom could be dried easily under outdoor drying until MR (Moisture Ratio) was reached to about 0.2. However, solar drying system showed great effect on drying for most samples compared with indoor and outdoor dryings, when MR was less than 0.5.

Deep sea water has cold temperature, abundant nutrients and minerals, and good water quality that is pathogen-free and stable. Compared with surface water, deep sea water contains more nutrition salt, such as nitrogen and phosphor. Moreover, if has the good balance of minerals. Because of the ability of the spray drying process to produce a free-flowing power considering of spherical particles with a well-defined size distribution and the rapid drying times for heat-sensitive material, spray drying is attractive for a wide range of applications spray drying is a unique unit operation in which powders are produced from a liquid feed in a single processing step. Key component of the process are atomizer, spray chamber. Design of spray chamber should be based on the atomizer type, the production rate, and the particle size required. Because of the complex processes taking place during spray drying, traditional design method are based on pilot-plant tests and empirical scale-up rules. Modern technique such as CFD have a role to play in design and troubleshooting.

This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of application of an infrared drying to drying process for red pepper. The performance of seramic heaters and the variation of temperature and moisture content of red pepper were analyzed during an infrared drying of red peppers. Also, the quality of dried red pepper was analyzed. The following results were obtained from this study. 1. The surface temperature of infrared heaters and the rising time required for steady state were mainly affected by electrical power consumed. 2. The heat energy required for heating red pepper was proposed to be calculated by the equation in terms of enthalpy of air and net heat flux by infrared heater in a drying chamber. The statistical model for net heat flux was developed. 3. The performance of the infrared heater used for heating red pepper was much affected by the distance of radiation, and the difference of temperatures appeared between the radiated surface and the inside of red pepper. 4. Electrical capacity of the infrared heater had a significant effect on the heating of red pepper. However, the effect of shape of heater on heating was not significant. 5. The variation of temperature of red pepper largely appeared in the range of 30 to 60% (db) in moisture content. The temperature of red pepper was almost constant at low moisture content. 6. The temperature of red pepper and heating time had significant effects on the quality for radiant heating. 7. When the electrical capacity of infrared heater and the distance of radiation are carefully designed in a dryer with the insulated drying chamber, infrared drying might be very effective in red pepper drying.

A mathematical model of freeze drying by sublimation was suggested and used to estimate the drying time. Under the various conditions, the drying time of pure water and carrot was numerically calculated for the suggested model. Optimal policies of freeze drying were investigated experimentally in a laboratory freeze dryer. It was found that the shortest drying times could be obtained when the chamber pressure and condenser temperature were kept at their lowest values and the best method of heat transfer for sublimation was the conduction involving radiation. The sublimation drying period was finished when the bottom temperature of material could be reached at near $0^{\circ}C$ from frozen temperature.

In Jeju province, the Citrus is widely spread crop which is the most popular fruit on the island. When the quality of a Citrus is not in a good condition or when its size exceeds or is lower than the set criteria, it is discarded as a waste. In this study, a drying machine for waste Citrus has been developed with 2.6 GHz microwave energy supply to the Citrus at vacuum environment. The vacuum environment of the drying chamber was maintained to reduce the energy supply to the Citrus by lowering the evaporating temperature of the water. The experiment was conducted with variation of the vacuum pressure, interior temperature of the drying chamber, and operating time of the microwave. As a result, the effect of the temperature was shown to be higher than the other two control methods, and it showed with 0.305 g/W evaporation efficiency.

Tire codes are made of materials such as hemp, cotton, rayon, nylon, steel, polyester, glass, and aramid are fiber reinforcement materials that go inside rubber to increase durability, driveability, and stability of vehicle tires. The reinforcement of the tire cord may construct a composite material using tires such as automobiles, trucks, aircraft, bicycles, and fibrous materials such as electric belts and hoses as reinforcement materials. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the adhesive force between the rubber and the reinforced fiber exhibits the desired physical properties in the rubber composite material made of a rubber matrix with reinforced fibers. This study is a study on the heat treatment conditions for improving the adhesion strength of the tire cord and the reinforced fiber for tires. The core technology of the drying process is a uniform drying technology, which has a great influence on the quality of the reinforcement. Therefore, the uniform airflow distribution is determined by the geometry and operating conditions of the dryer. Therefore, this study carried out a numerical analysis of the shape of a drying nozzle for improving the performance of hot air drying in a dryer used for drying the coated reinforced fibers. In addition, the flow characteristics were examined through numerical analysis of the study on the change in the shape of the chamber affecting drying.
