    Optimal Design of Drying Process of the Potatoes with Multi-Agent Reinforced Deep Learning

    Mohammad Yaghoub Abdollahzadeh Jamalabadi*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.2, pp. 511-536, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.051004

    Abstract Heat and mass transport through evaporation or drying processes occur in many applications such as food processing, pharmaceutical products, solar-driven vapor generation, textile design, and electronic cigarettes. In this paper, the transport of water from a fresh potato considered as a wet porous media with laminar convective dry air fluid flow governed by Darcy’s law in two-dimensional is highlighted. Governing equations of mass conservation, momentum conservation, multiphase fluid flow in porous media, heat transfer, and transport of participating fluids and gases through evaporation from liquid to gaseous phase are solved simultaneously. In this model, the… More >

    Optimal Design of Porous Media in Solar Vapor Generators by Carbon Fiber Bundles

    Mohammad Yaghoub Abdollahzadeh Jamalabadi, Jinxiang Xi*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.21, pp. 65-79, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2023.042613

    Abstract As a means of harvesting solar energy for water treatment, solar-driven vapor generation is becoming more appealing. Due to their entangled fibrous networks and high surface area, fibers can be used as building blocks to generate water vapor. In this paper, using a two-dimensional fiber bundle model, we studied the generation of solar vapor based on the fiber height, distance between fibers, and input sun radiation. The performance of solar absorption system was also evaluated by evaluating thermal and water management. Results showed a constant increase in solar vapor generation with an increasing fiber height… More > Graphic Abstract

    A Comparative Study of Different Drying Processes for a Deformable Saturated Porous Medium

    Nour El Houda Ben Mustaphaa1,3,*, Ibtissem Boumnijel1, M. El-Ganaoui2, Daoued Mihoubi1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.6, pp. 1339-1348, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.022888

    Abstract Drying of a deformable saturated porous medium based on convective tempering is a novel method that can enhance energy efficiency and the quality of the dried product itself. In this experimental investigation, the performances of this specific technique are compared with those of a standard stationary drying process in terms of deformation, drying kinetics, moisture redistribution, and energy consumption. In particular, the response of a deformable saturated porous medium (Kaolin) is considered. The results are critically discussed pointing out advantages and drawbacks. More > Graphic Abstract

    Hydro-thermo-viscoelastic Based Finite Element Modeling of Apple Convective Drying Process

    M. Toujani1, R. Djebali2, L. Hassini1, S. Azzouz1, A. Belghith1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.98, No.5, pp. 469-485, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2014.098.469

    Abstract In the present work we aim to simulate unsteady two-dimensional evolution of the moisture content, temperature and mechanical stress in a parallelepiped apple sample during convective drying. The model is based on the heat and mass transfer equations and the mechanical equilibrium equation under the assumptions of plane deformation, viscoelasticity and isotropic hydric shrinkage. The Finite Elements COMSOL Multiphysics solver is used to solve the developed model. The hydro-thermal model was validated on experimental data drawn in our laboratory for moisture and temperature internal profiles of the product. Excellent agreement has been obtained between numerical More >
