This research was carried out to obtain the fundamental data for the development of the technology and practical use of far-infrared radiation(IR) drying of quarter-sliced decorative veneers of walnut and red oak. The average drying rates of IR drying were about one and half to four times those of kiln drying and this tendency was prominent in thin veneer. The end wavinesses of the IR-dried veneers were smaller than those of kiln-dried veneers. These were largely recovered by the cold treatments after drying. The consumed electric power for IR drying was about one-fifth to two-fifthes compared to that for kiln drying.

An experimental work was conducted by using a laboratory-made model dryer to investigate the effect of the rate of natural forced-air on the drying rate of rough rice which was deposited in the deep-bed. The dryer consisted of 8 cylinderical containers with grain holding screen at their bottoms, each of which having 30cm in diameter and 15cm in height. The containers were sacked vertically with keeping them air-tight by using paper tape during dryer operation. Two separate layers of containers were operated in the same time to have two replications. The moisture contents of grains within each bins after predetermined period of dryer operation were determined indirectly by measuring the weight of the individual containers. The air-rates were maintained at 6 levels, or 5, 8, 10, 15, 18 and 20 millimenters of static head of water. The roomair conditions during dryer operation were maintained in the range of 10-l5$^{\circ}C$ in temperature and 40-60% in relative humidity. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. Drying characteristics of the grains in the bottom layers were approximately the same regardless of airdelivery rates, giving the average drying rate as about 0.35 percent per hour after 40-hour drying period, during which moisture content (w. b.) reduced from 24 percent to about 10 percent. 2. After about 40-hour drying period, the mean drying rates increased from 0.163 percent per hour to 0.263 percent per hour as air-flow rates increased from 5mm to 87.16mm of static head of water. In the same time, the moisture differences of grains between lower and upper layers varied from 12.7 percent at the air rate of 5mm of water head to 7.5 percent at the air-flow rate of 20mn of water head. Thus, the greater the air-flow rate was, the more overall improvement in drying performance was. Additionally, from the result of ineffectiveness of drying grain positioned at 70cm depth or above by the air rate of 5mm of static head of water it may be suggested in practical application that the height of grain deposit would be maintained adequately within the limits of air-rates that may be actually delivered. 3. Drying after layer-turning operation was continued for about 30 hours to test the effectiveness of reducing moisture differences in the thick layers. As a result of this layer-turning operation, moisture distribution through layers approached to narrow ranges, giving the moisture range as about 7 percent at air-flow rate of 5mm head of water, about 3 percent at 10mm head about 2 percent at 15mm head, and less than 1 percent at 20mm head. In addition, from the desirable results that drying rate was rapid in the lower layers and dully in the upper layers, layer-turning operation may be very effective in natural air drying with deep-layer grain deposit, especially when the forced air was kept in low rate. 4. Even though the high rate of air delivery is very desirable for deep-layer natural-air drying of rough rice, it can be happened that the required air delivery rate could not be attained because of limitation of power source available on farms. To give a guide line for the practical application, the power required to perform the drying with the specified air rate was analyzed for different sizes of drying bin and is given in Table (5). If a farmer selects a motor of which size is 1 or {{{{1 { 1} over {2 } }}}} H.P. and air-delivery rate which ranges from 8~10mm of head, the diameter of grain bin may be suggested to choose about 2.4m, also power tiller or other moderate size of prime motor may be recommended when the diameter of grain bin is about 5.0m or more for about 120cm grain deposit.

Blanching 처리가 고추의 건조율 및 색도에 미치는 효과를 조사하고자 실험실 규모의 열풍 건조기를 제작하였으며 strain gage형의 load cell과 strain amplifier를 이용하여 건조 중의 중량을 연속적으로 기록, 측정하였다. 고추의 건조특성곡선은 대조군에서는 예비, 항율, 감율건조기간이 뚜렷한 반면, blanching 처리군은 감율건조기간만 존재하였으며, 시료의 건조율과 건조상수 값은 blanching 처리 온도와 시간에 비례하여 증가하는 경향이었고, $100^{\circ}C$, 3분 blanching 처리군이 가장 높게 나타났다. Capsanthin 함량 역시 대조군에 비해 처리군이blanching 처리온도와 시간에 비례하였으며 색도 값의 경우 $80^{\circ}C$, 3분 blanching군이 가장 우수하였다. blanching 처리는 전반적으로 고추의 건조율 증진 및 색도 보존에 효과적이며 $80^{\circ}C$, 3분 blanching 처리가 비교적 적합하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of grain and veneer thickness on drying rate, required energy consumption, and drying defects such as checking, end waving, and burning during a far-infrared radiation drying process of decorative veneers of hard maple and beech. Most of the veneer could be dried from green to in-use moisture content within 30 to 360 seconds. The drying rates were significantly affected by veneer thickness, but there was little difference between edge-and flat-sliced veneers. The formation of checking during drying test was none or very slight. The percentages of the veneers defected by checks were higher in the flat-sliced veneers than in the edge-sliced veneers. The maximum end wavinesses in the flat-sliced veneers were almost 1.6 to 3 times larger than that in the edge-sliced veneers. All veneers were fee from burned marks during drying test.

Microwave heating and drying processes have been well established in various industrial applications. Feasibilities of successful application of microwave drying to many material have been shown on the laboratory or pilot-plant scale. The microwave drying behavior of plating sludge are considered in this paper. The plating sludge containing 70%, 80% and 90% water exposed to microwave power at 2,450 MHz, 700W. An experimental microwave drying apparatus was designed and constructed to monitor weight loss during drying. By studying the drying characteristic curve, the moisture in sludge was almost classified into two categories : free moisture and intestinal moisture. And the critical moisture contents at which the drying rate ceases to be constant were from 10.1 to 10.5%. A simple drying model is proposed which may be used to describe drying behavior of plating sludge. The constant rate and the falling rate periods in microwave drying were addressed separately. From the eqation of constant rate period the drying rate constants decreased exponentially with increasing depth. Microwave heating compared with conventional heating offered higher heating rates from 9 to 16 times. Therefore, microwave drying process can be effective in removing moisture from plating sludge.

Drying is the least developed of all unit operations of paper and board manufacture. While groundbreaking developments were Introduced during the several past decades in forming, pressing and calendering, no radical changes occurred in drying. The cylinder-drying technology is now more than 200 years old and, while it was subject to many incremental improvements, many of its inherent problems persist. We believe that conventional drying is now approaching the end of its life and the industry is ready for a major breakthrough in drying. Indeed several innovative technologies already exist at various stages of development or commercialization. In general, the novel drying technologies are striving to increase the drying rate, improve the product quality and boost the energy efficiency of drying. A novel, drying method, $Papridry^{TM}$, which combines conductive and convective heat transfer to obtain very high drying rates, is at an advanced stage of development at Paprican. The results obtained when drying printing paper ana board on a self-standing pilot $Papridry^{TM}$ machine and on the pilot paper machine equipped with a tandem of two $Papridry^{TM}$ units demonstrate both, the high drying rate and improved product quality achieved by using this drying method. A mathematical model of this operation has been developed and the software compiled with this model was used to calculate the effect of installing a $Papridry^{TM}$ unit into an existing dryer section. The model also allows to calculate the z-direction distribution of moisture and temperature at various points of the dryer section.

용량 150 kg의 실험용건조기와 heat pump를 이용하여 건조온도 20, 30, 40 및 $50^{\circ}C$에서 건조실험을 수행하였다. 건조과정에서 함수율, 동할율의 경시적 변화와 건조 전 후의 발아율 및 식미를 측정하여 저온건조과정에 벼의 품질과 적정 건조온도를 구명하였다. 건조온도 20, 30, 40 및 $50^{\circ}C$에서 건조속도는 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 및 1.3%/hr 로 건조온도가 높을수록 건조는 빠르게 진행되었으며, 건조온도 $40^{\circ}C$ 이상은 고온영역, 그 이하는 저온영역으로 구분할 수 있다. 동할율은 건조온도 $20^{\circ}C$에서는 발생하지 않았고 건조온도 30, 40 및 $50^{\circ}C$에서 1.6, 6.8 및 24.2%로 나타나 건조온도가 높을수록 동할 발생이 증가하였다. 따라서, 건조온도 20 및 $30^{\circ}C$는 동할율 기준치에 적합한 안전한 온도영역이며, $50^{\circ}C$는 매우 위험한 온도영역으로 판단된다. 또한, 건조온도 $40^{\circ}C$는 동할율 방지를 위해 템퍼링시간 증대 등 운영방법의 조정이 필요하였다. 건조온도가 높을수록 건조후 발아율은 저하하였으며, 건조온도 20 및 $30^{\circ}C$에서 발아율은 종자용으로 사용가능한 영역이었으며, 건조온도 40 및 $50^{\circ}C$는 최소 영역인 80%에 만족하였다. 식미관능검사에서전반적인(Overall) 품질, 외관(Appearance)의 품질, 맛(Taste)의 품질 및 조직감(Texture)의 품질에서 유의적인 차이가 나타났으며, 종합적으로 판단해볼 때 건조온도 $20^{\circ}C$와 $30^{\circ}C$에서 식미가 높게 나타났으며, 건조온도가 가장 높은 $50^{\circ}C$에서는 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 따라서, 품질이 우수한 건조조건은 건조온도 $30^{\circ}C$ 이하, 건조속도 0.6%/hr 이하를 유지하는 것이 적정한 것으로 판단된다.

The vacuum drying process for drying of paper in current transformers was modeled with an aim to develop an understanding of the drying mechanism involved and also to predict the water collection rates. A molecular as well as macroscopic approach was adopted for the prediction of drying rate. Ficks law of diffusion was adopted for the prediction of drying rates at macroscopic levels. A steady state and dynamic mass transfer simulation was performed. The bulk diffusion coefficient was calculated using weight loss experiments. The accuracy of the solution was a strong function of the relation developed to determine the equilibrium moisture content. The actually observed diffusion constant was also important to predict the plant water removal rate. Thermo gravimetric studies helped in calculating the diffusion constant. In addition, simulation studies revealed the formation of perpetual moisture traps (loops) inside the CT. These loops can only be broken by changing the temperature or pressure of the system. The change in temperature or pressure changes the kinetic or potential energy of the effusing vapor resulting in breaking of the loop. The cycle was developed based on this mechanism. Additionally, simulation studies also revealed that the actual mechanism of moisture diffusion in CT's is by surface jumps initiated by surface diffusion balanced against the surrounding pressure. Every subsequent step in the cycle was to break such loops. The effect of change in drying time on the electrical properties of the insulation was also assessed. The measurement of capacitance at the rated voltage and one third of the rated voltage demonstrated that the capacitance change is within the acceptance limit. Hence, the new cycle does not affect the electrical performance of the CT.

This research was carried out to offer the basis data for development of optimum drying schedule for a domestic oak species (Quercus grosseserrata B1.) by investigating drying rate. stress, defect, and moisuture gradient with board thicknesses and drying schedules (code number T4-C2 and T3-B1). The results were obtained as follows: 1. Average drying rate and total drying time from 52.2% to 5.8% were 0.105%/hr and 486 hours for drying schedule T4-C2 and those from 62.1% to 8.3% were 0.070%/hr. and 811 hours for drying schedule T3-B1. 2. Drying rates for 28mm- and 31mm-thick boards showed similar tendency, but were significantly different from 25mm- thick board in drying schedule T4-C2 and those for 22mm-, 25mm- 28mm- and 31mm-thick boards showed similar tendency but were significantly different from 19mm- thick boards in drying schedule T3-B1. 3. The moisture gradients for drying schedule T4-C2 were steeper than those for drying schedule T3-B1 during drying period. and especially in early drying stage slow slope of moisture gradients of drying schedule T3-B1 was effective in preventing serious problem of surface checks. 4. Drying stresses were lower in drying schedule T3-B1 than in drying schedule T4-C2 during drying period. 5. Drying schedule T4-C2 was appropriate for 25mm-thick board but not for 28mm- and 31mm-thick board because of strong drying condition. Drying schedule T3-B1 was appropriate for 28mm- and 31 mm-thick board but not for 19mm-, 22mm-, and 25mm-thick board because of weak drying condition.
