This paper was aimed to study the drying kinetics of coffee and to investigate the thin-layer drying kinetics of coffee by using a convective air dryer. The coffee was dried for the temperatures of 40, 50 and $60^{\circ}C$ with relative humidity in the range of 14-25% the airflow rate fixed at 1 m/s. According to the experiment result, the drying rate curve showed that drying process took place only in the falling rate period. Seven thin layer drying models (Newton, Page, Henderson and Pabis, Logarithmic, Wang and Singh, Two terms, Modified Henderson and Pabis) were fitted to the experimental moisture content data. The Two-trem model was found to be a better model for describing the characteristics of coffee for the temperatures of 40, 50 and $60^{\circ}C$. The effective moisture diffusivity of coffee increased when the drying temperature increased. The value was in the range of $4.5028{\times}10^{-11}$ to $6.4803{\times}10^{-11}m^2/s$.

In this study, drying kinetics of onion slices was examined in a laboratory scale vacuum dryer at an air temperature in a range of $50-70^{\circ}C$. Moisture transfer from onion slices was described by applying the Fick's diffusion model, and the effective diffusivity was calculated. Temperature dependency of the effective diffusivity during drying process obeyed the Arrhenius relationship. Effective diffusivity increased with increasing temperature and the activation energy for the onion slices was estimated to be 16.92 kJ/mol. The experimental drying data were used to fit 9 drying models, and drying rate constants and coefficients of models tested were determined by non-linear regression analysis. Estimations by the page and Two-term exponential models were in good agreement with the experimental data obtained.

Onion slices were dehydrated in a single layer at drying air temperatures ranging from $50{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ in a laboratory scale convective hot-air dryer at an air velocity of 0.66 m/s. The effect of drying air temperature on the drying kinetic characteristics were determined. It was found that onion slices would dry within $210{\sim}460\;min$ under these drying conditions. Moisture transfer during dehydration was described by applying the Fick's diffusion model and the effective diffusivity changed between $1.345{\times}10^{-8}$ and $2.658{\times}10^{-8}\;m^2/s$. A non-linear regression procedure was used to fit 9 thin layer drying models available in the literature to the experimental drying curves. The Logarithmic model provided a better fit to the experimental drying data as compared to other models. Temperature dependency of the effective diffusivity during the hot-air drying process obeyed the Arrhenius relationship with estimated activation energy being 31.36 kJ/mol. The effect of the drying air temperature on the drying model constants and coefficients were also determined.

본 연구의 목적은 열풍건조를 이용하여 슬러지를 감량화하는 과정에서 발생되는 열적거동을 조사하는데 있다. 실험에서 중요한 운전매개변수는 공급되는 건조온도가 $130{\sim}170^{\circ}C$와 증발속도 WD를 변화시켜 실행하였다. 슬러지내 수분을 증발하는 과정에서 열적거동의 변화에 미치는 영향인 주요매개 변수는 공급되는 온도변화에 따른 건조시간, 슬러지내 수분함량, 슬러지의 고형물량에 따른 결과를 조사하였다. WD=0.95m/s의 조건에서 $170^{\circ}C$의 건조온도에서 수분이 증발되는 포화점은 95분과 $130^{\circ}C$에서 120분에서 조사되었다. 열풍의 의한 증발속도가 1.0 m/s로 일정할 때 건조온도가 130와 $150^{\circ}C$일 때 보다 $170^{\circ}C$인 경우가 증발율이 더 높게 나타났고, 건조기 온도가 $130^{\circ}C$인 경우는 WD=1.0 m/s일 때 WD=0.5 m/s 보다 증발율이 높게 나타남을 볼 수 있었다.

The effects of air temperature and sample thickness on drying kinetics of strawberry leather were investigated. The mathematical modeling was performed by using three thin-layer dying models. The independent variables were sample thickness (S1 = 1.8, S2 = 2.7, and S3 = 3.6mm) and air temperature (50, 60, 70, and 80$^{\circ}$C). All samples took place in the falling rate period. The values of effective moisture diffusivity, D$_{eff}$ varied from 2.40 to 12.1$^{\times}$10-9m$^{2}$/s depending on drying conditions. The values of activation energy, E$_{a}$ were 35.57, 33.14, and 30.46 KJ/mol for each sample of S1, S2, and S3. The two-term exponential model was found to satisfactorily describe the thin-layer drying kinetics of strawberry leather.

에너지 위기로 인하여 석탄에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그 중에서도 저등급석탄에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있는데, 저등급석탄은 수분함량이 30~60%갱도로 수분함량이 높다. 이러한 저등급 석탄을 발전용 연료로 사용하기 위해서는 건조공정이 선행적으로 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고정층 반응기를 이용하여 저등급석탄의 건조 반응속도론을 도출하였다. 건조반응속도는 입자크기, 주입가스 온도, 가스 유속, L/D의 영향을 변수로 하여 도출하였다. Reynold's number는 가스 유속과 석탄업자의 크기, L/D는 반응기 직경과 대상탄의 충진양을 보정하기 위해 고려하였다. 석탄의 건조 특성에서도 알 수 있듯이, 고정층 반응기를 이용한 저등급석탄의 건조에 있어서도 표면수분의 건조가 원활하며, 상 경계 반응이 적합한 메커니즘임을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Sliced and whole root of rehmannia were dehydrated in a laboratory dryer at 40, 60, 80, and $100^{\circ}C$ to evaluate the kinetic parameters for dehydration of rehmannia. The drying curves of both samples were characterized by a falling-rate drying period only. Sliced rehmannia dried 1.1 to 3.1 times faster than whole root of rehmannia depending on drying temperature. Equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of rehmannia samples at the drying temperature tested were 0.069-0.078 g water/g dry solid, which was coincided with the monolayer moisture content (0.06 and 0.07 g water/g dry solid) evaluated from desorption isotherms using GAB (Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer) model. A logarithmic model for thin layer drying was applied to evaluate the drying time to reach EMC ($t_{EMC}$) and drying constant (k). The effect of temperature on $1/t_{EMC}$ and k was described by the Arrhenius model with activation energy values of 32.56 and 47.14 kJ/mol determined using the former parameter, and 34.27 and 38.26 kJ/mol determined using the latter parameter for sliced and whole root of rehmannia, respectively.

Radial and tangential water diffusion in Eucalyptus globulus wood was investigated using three mature trees from a forest in Khemis Sahel (North Morocco). Absorption and desorption kinetics experiments were conducted at ambient temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively, and a relative humidity of 60%. The diffusion coefficients in the two directions were determined under imposed hygrothermal conditions; they were greater in the radial direction for the absorption as well as desorption processes. Convective drying under load, preceded by reconditioning and followed up by balancing, revealed the drying conditions that corresponded to the appropriate drying schedules for E. globulus wood. This was verified by measuring the cracks and bowsbefore and after drying of boards.

Drying characteristics of fresh Korean-type rehmannia (jiwhang) noodle was investigated to determine drying kinetic parameters under the experimental conditions of 5 temperatures (30, 40, 60, 80, and $90^{\circ}C$). Drying curve of the noodle showed a biphasic pattern of decrease in drying rate with initial rapid drying followed by slow dehydration as the progress in drying. In all drying conditions, only falling drying rate period was observed and the drying rate of the noodle was greatly influenced by the drying temperature. The effective diffusion coefficients ($D_{eff}$) were determined by the diffusion model and their temperature dependency was determined using an Arrhenius equation. The activation energy ($E_a$) values for the drying of the noodle were 19.94 and 21.09 kJ/mol at the initial and the latter stage of dehydration, which were comparable to those of pasta or Japanese udong dehydration.

Researches on the drying of particle/polymer suspensions receive attentions in technical applications such as manufacturing display and batteries. In this study, the effect of polymers on drying behavior of silica/poly(vinyl alcohol) suspension was investigated in terms of suspension stability and stress development during drying. The effect of polymer adsorption was studied by changing pH. More strongly flocculated suspension with lower pH became more dispersed and close-packed film after drying. Evaluation of potential energy allows us to suggest that the adsorbed polymers which bridge the particles introduce steric repulsion and lead flocculated suspension to dispersed film. When the effect of adsorption kinetics was studied by changing the mixing time, the adsorption amount, characteristic stress and dried film density showed a similar behavior in the form of with a single characteristic time. It implies that the drying process can be determined by simple characteristic equation with a single time constant.
