  • Effect of thermal intensity and Initial Moisture Content on heat and Moisture transfer in unsaturated soil
    Sustainable Cities and Society, 2020
    Co-Authors: Gao Yan, Shuyue Dong, Chuang Wang, Yanhong Chen
    Abstract:

    Abstract Soil is an economical and convenient energy storage medium that can be used for air conditioning and space heating. Thermal intensity and soil Initial Moisture Content are the key factors influencing Moisture transfer in soil. In this paper, we investigated the coupled heat and Moisture transfer in unsaturated soil under thermal effects, and developed mathematical models in one-dimension for the coupled heat and Moisture transfer processes. A series of experiments with different thermal intensities and Initial Moisture Content were carried out to observe temperatures and Moisture Contents in sandy soil. The model was validated on the basis of experimental data. The soil column experiment results showed that Moisture transfer flux was positively correlated with heat source temperature. In addition, under different Initial Moisture Content conditions, the effects on Moisture transfer were different even under the same driving force of temperature gradient. Under the same heat source temperature, soil with low Moisture Content had a strong Moisture transfer, thus removing more heat, but the actual process showed that soil with high Moisture Content had a strong heat transfer, indicating that heat transfer, which indicates that heat conduction played a more important role than Moisture transfer.

  • EFFECT OF Initial Moisture Content ON THE THIN LAYER DRYING CHARACTERISTICS OF HAZELNUTS DURING ROASTING
    Drying Technology, 2000
    Co-Authors: Murat Ozdemir, Ferda Seyhan, A. Özdeş Bodurb, Y. Onur Devres
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Effect of Initial Moisture Content on the thin layer drying characteristics of hazelnuts during roasting was described for a temperature range of 100-160°C, using several thin layer equations. The effective diffusivity varied from 2.8×10−7 to 21.5×10−7m2/s over the temperature and Moisture range. Temperature dependence of the diffusivity coefficient was described by Arrhenius-type relationship. The activation energy for Moisture diffusion was found to be 2703 kJ/kg, 2289 kJ/kg and 2030 kJ/kg for the Initial Moisture Content of 12.3% db, 6.14% db, and 2.41% db, respectively. Two-term equation gave better predictions than Henderson and Pabis and Thompson equations, and satisfactorily described thin layer drying characteristics of hazelnut roasting. A generalised mathematical model with the linear temperature dependence for Moistured, non-treated and pre-dried hazelnuts were also developed.
