Data on the mass conductivity coefficient have been obtained during drying the onion seeds in a thick layer of 5 mm thick ventilated on the surface, which were calculated by the zonal method on the basis of experimental curves of drying and heating. These data are described by the dependence of the mass conductivity coefficient on temperature and moisture content of the material.  The comparison of the mass conductivity coefficient values for a layer and for single seeds is given,  which shows that: 1) the mass conductivity coefficient in the layer changes significantly during drying, therefore, this change must be taken into account; 2) the change in the mass conductivity coefficient is due to its dependence on both moisture content and temperature, but the influence of temperature prevails over the influence of moisture content, therefore, themass conductivity coefficient increases during drying, 3) the mass conductivity coefficient in the layer is two orders of magnitude higher than for single seeds. The curve of seeds drying in a layer of 5 mm thick have been calculated using the obtained data on the mass conductivity coefficient for the process of oscillating infrared seeds drying carried out at a material temperature fluctuation in the range from tmin = 34 °C to tmax = 40 °C, which showed satisfactory agreement of the results of calculation and experiment. Experimental and calculated curves of oscillating infrared seeds drying in a layer of 5 mm thick are compared with analogous curves of drying the seeds in a monolayer, which showed that, despite the fact that the mass conductivity coefficient of seeds in a layer of 5 mm thick is two orders of magnitude greater than in a monolayer, the drying of seeds in the first case is slower because of the greater thickness of the layer. To calculate the kinetics of the process of oscillating infrared seeds drying in a dense layer, when its surface temperature oscillates in the range from tmin = 34 °C to tmax = 40 °C, the zonal method is recommended using the obtained data on the mass conductivity coefficient, taking into account the change in the mass conductivity during the process.Forcitation:Rudobashta S.P., Zueva G.A., Dmitriev V.M.

The mass-conduction (diffusion) properties of sunflower seeds of the "MAS 95 OL" variety were experimentally investigated. From the experimental drying curves obtained in the intradiffusion kinetic mode at two temperatures of the drying agent (air), the coefficients of mass conductivity (moisture diffusion) were calculated by the zonal method, which are presented as dependences on the moisture content of the core and shell, respectively. It is shown that the coefficients of mass conductivity of nuclei and shells depend on the moisture content of the material and differ significantly both in magnitude and in the nature of the concentration dependences. The coefficient of mass conductivity of nuclei in different areas of moisture content is 15-25 times higher than that of shells, this is explained by differences in the structure of these materials. In the area of moisture content less than 0.5 kg / (kg of dry materiall), both dependences have the same character of concave functions increasing with moisture content, this is a consequence of the same mechanism of mass transfer dominating in this area of moisture content, which is osmotic mass transfer. In seed kernels, the area of moisture content of more than 0.5 kg / (kg of dry material) is absent, but in seed shells it is present and vapor diffusion dominates in it. The data on the coefficient of mass conductivity for seed shells were compared with the coefficient of mass conductivity of another capillary-porous colloidal material with a similar structure - wood. The nature of the concentration dependences for both materials is the same, which is explained by the similarity of the morphological structure of wood and seed shells, which have a tree-like structure. The coefficient of mass conductivity of the seed kernel was compared with the coefficients of mass conductivity of other capillary-porous colloidal materials of plant and animal origin. Comparison showed that they have the same order of mass conductivity coefficient: 10-9 m2/s. This is explained by the identical structure of these materials, which have a cellular structure, and, probably, by the same mechanisms of mass transfer at the corresponding moisture content. The obtained data on the coefficients of mass conductivity of the kernel and shell of sunflower seed can be used for the kinetic calculation of the process of convective drying of this material based on the solution of the differential equations of internal heat and mass transfer A.V.

Objetivou-se, com o presente trabalho, propor um novo método de processamento e secagem, assim como avaliar o comportamento dos grãos submetidos a este processo, por meio da taxa de redução de água e do ajuste de diferentes modelos matemáticos aos dados experimentais da secagem. Os frutos colhidos no estágio maduro foram divididos em três lotes. O primeiro foi seco continuamente à temperatura de 40±1 °C. O segundo consiste na secagem do café natural até os teores de água de 0,56±0,02, 0,41±0,02, 0,28±0,02 e 0,20±0,02 decimal (base seca, b.s.), seguido de beneficiamento e secagem contínua nas temperaturas de 35±1 ºC e 40±1 ºC. O terceiro lote correspondeu à secagem contínua do café descascado e desmucilado na temperatura de 40±1 °C. Em todos os lotes, a secagem foi encerrada quando os grãos atingiram o teor de água de 0,12±0,05 (b.s.). Aos dados experimentais da secagem foram ajustados dez modelos matemáticos utilizados para representação da secagem dos produtos agrícolas. Além da representação da cinética de secagem foi avaliada a taxa de redução de água dos grãos. Conclui-se que a taxa de redução de água é maior para a temperatura de secagem de 40±1 °C, especialmente para maiores teores de água. O tempo total de secagem do café beneficiado com alto teor de água é expressivamente reduzido, quando comparado ao tempo de secagem completa do café natural. O modelo de Midilli descreve satisfatoriamente a cinética de secagem do café beneficiado.

The kinetics of fluid-solid coupling during immersion is an important topic of investigation in rock engineering. Two rock types, sandstone and mudstone, are selected in this work to study the correlation between the softening characteristics of the rocks and moisture content. This is achieved through detailed studies using scanning electron microscopy, shear tests, and evaluation of rock index properties during exposure to different moisture contents. An underground roadway excavation is simulated by dynamic finite element modeling to analyze the effect of moisture content on the stability of the roadway. The results show that moisture content has a significant effect on shear properties reduction of both sandstone and mudstone, which must thus be considered in mining or excavation processes. Specifically, it is found that the number, area, and diameter of micropores, as well as surface porosity, increase with increasing moisture content. Additionally, stress concentration is negatively correlated with moisture content, while the influenced area and vertical displacement are positively correlated with moisture content. These findings may provide useful input for the design of underground roadways.

AbstractThe diffusion properties of a Ni-Zr metallic glass formed at the interface of a bulk diffusion couple have been studied in conditions far from a fully relaxed state. The growth kinetics of the interface film have been enhanced by both plastic deformation and high energy electron irradiation. Different results have been obtained in the two cases, since in the first case the film grows exponentially with time, while in the second case the usual square root dependence on time is observed. This behaviour has been interpreted as a consequence of the annihilation kinetics of the excess free volume introduced in the glass by the above methods. Two different mechanisms of free volume annihilation , namely exchange with a crystal vacancy at the glass-crystal interface and structural relaxation in the bulk glassy phase have been considered to be operative so that the nature of the growth kinetics has been found to depend on the mechanism predominant in each experimental condition.

The kinetics of the Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with bis(2-ethylhexyl) maleate has been studied at temperatures between 25 and 100 °C and at atmospheric pressure. The influence of temperature on the kinetic constants was determined by fitting the results to the Arrhenius equation. As a result, fitting line similar with the linear curve of the Arrhenius equation at 25, 30 and 40 °C. However, the fitting curve, at 60, 80 and 100 °C, tended towards the outside of the curve in the form of Arrhenius equation. The ratio of endo/exo was a slight change from increase of the reaction temperature.

Introduction. Processing of grain raw material with influence on starch or albumens by application of heat treatment creates the variety of functional properties of a product and is perspective in the modern terms vital functions of man. Research methods and methods. The flour obtained from wheat of the Ascanian wheat and from wheat of the soft varieties: Sophia ("sweet wheat"), Blond (soft) and Chornobrova (enriched with micro- and macronutrients) were used in the study. Thermal modification of flour samples was carried out in a convective manner. The control sample for determining the quality indicators is obtained in industrial conditions, extruded wheat flour produced by LLC "AS groups, LTD". Research results. The obtained kinetic dependence shows the gradual loss of moisture standards with different speed which accordingly influences on duration of drying. The moisture content of the drying agent most affects the intensity at the initial stage of the constant drying rate. With an increase in the moisture content of the coolant, the period of constant drying increases and the amount of evaporated moisture increases during this period. With the subsequent removal of moisture from raw materials, the degree of influence of this parameter on the intensity decreases. The nature of the drying curves is the same and the recommended process for obtaining modified flour is the process duration of 300 minutes or 5 hours. It was determined microscopically, that the samples of dried wheat flour have a purpose and are partially destroyed by starch granules and amorphization of biocomposite materials. Based on the data on the kinetics of drying flour samples, the kinetic coefficients and values of the critical moisture content for drying wheat flour were calculated, which is 1.18-1.30 %. It was determined that for the sensorial indicators the obtained samples have indicators characteristic of the varietal characteristics of wheat, from which the flour was taken. In terms of physical and chemical parameters, the modified wheat flour samples are not inferior to the well-known industrial sample of extruded flour. Conclusions. Use of flour, obtained from the wheat with different correlation of amilose and amylopectin, positively influences on a technological process and allows to extend the assortment of modified starch products, and accordingly, food products. Kinetics of the convective drying standards of the flour is investigated. Researches showed that a it is physically modified flour obtained from the different sorts of the soft wheat is not inferior in quality to the extruded wheat flour.

The present study aims to evaluate the hot corrosion behaviour of the Ni-based alloy Superni- 75 in the molten salt environment of Na2SO-60%V2O5 at 900°C under cyclic conditions. The thermogravimetric technique was used to establish the kinetics of corrosion. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive analysis and electron probe microanalysis techniques were used to analyse the corrosion products. Superni-75 has successfully provided the hot corrosion resistance to the given molten salt environment. The hot corrosion resistance of the Superni-75 has been attributed to the formation of uniform, homogeneous and adherent thick layer of the scale consisting mainly of oxides of nickel and chromium, and refractory Ni(VO3)2. These oxides and refractory nickel vanadates have blocked the penetration of oxygen and other corrosive species to the substrate.
