In the first stage of this study experimental data were obtained by using a lab scale batch type dryer, operating under various constant temperature/constant relative humidity combinations; then a mathematical model was determined for the effective diffusivity of moisture in spaghetti. In the second stage of the study the model obtained in the lab scale batch type dryer was used to calculate the moisture content of the spaghetti leaving continuous industrial scale dryer, and its success was tested by comparing with the experimentally determined moisture content of the product. The model was not found successful and corrected. Mathematical models based on experimental data obtained in a bench-top laboratory dryer underestimated the apparent equilibrium moisture content and over estimated the effective diffusivity of water in spaghetti in industrial scale continuous drying equipment. The structural differences in the product, extrapolation of the data beyond the range of the original experiments, variations in mode (batch versus continuous), surface-to-volume ratios, flow patterns, and geometry associated with each drying system were anticipated as the cause of the scale up problem.

EVALUATION OF SECOND VIRIAL COEFFICIENTS FROM SATURATION DATA
Orbey, H.; Orbey, N. (Informa UK Limited, 1989-3)
A data reduction technique is introduced for the evaluation of second virial coefficients of gases at subcritical temperatures. The method makes use of the vapor-liquid equilibrium data, i.e., temperature, saturation pressure, liquid and vapor molar volumes and can be used to obtain second virial coefficients of a wide variety of fluids including polar, associating and quantum gases. The calculated second virial coefficients are in good agreement with their counterparts from literature, which are obtained f...
NONENZYMATIC BROWNING IN CLARIFIED APPLE JUICE AT HIGH-TEMPERATURES - A RESPONSE-SURFACE ANALYSIS
Bayındırlı, Alev; YENICERI, A (Wiley, 1995-06-01)
The effect of temperature and soluble solids on nonenzymatic browning in clarified and concentrated apple juice was analyzed by response surface methodology. Color development at 20, 40 and 60 Brix and temperatures ranging from 70-90C were compared over a time range of 30-180 min. The browning reaction was found to be dependent on soluble solid content as well as on the reaction conditions such as temperature and time. The model combines the effect of temperature, soluble solids content and time on color ch...
ASSESSMENT OF THE EXPONENTIAL MODEL TO SOUR CHERRY JUICE FILTRATIONS
Şahin, Serpil (Wiley, 1991-01-01)
De La Garza and Boulton's "Exponential model" of wine filtrations simulated the data satisfactorily in the cake filtration of sour cherry juice. There was an inverse relation between the filtration rate and the resistance. Increase in the amount of precoating decreased the filtration rate. However, increase in filter aid dose increased the filtration rate. Further increase in filter aid dose and pressure over some limiting value gave no further increases infiltration rate.
Comparison of Fenitrothion and Trifluralin Adsorption on Organo-Zeolites and Activated Carbon. Part II: Thermodynamic Parameters and the Suitability of the Kinetic Models of Pesticide Adsorption
LÜLE ŞENÖZ, Güzide Meltem; Atalay, Mustafa Ümit (Informa UK Limited, 2014-07-04)
The suitability of two kinetic models and the thermodynamic parameters of pesticide adsorption were investigated based on obtained data of previous studies. Kinetic evaluation indicated that the pesticides adsorption on adsorbents followed the pseudo-second-order model. Gibbs free energy (Delta G degrees), enthalpy (Delta H degrees), and entropy (Delta S degrees) were calculated for thermodynamic parameters by using linearized Arrhenius equation. The results indicated that the sorption process of fenitrothi...
MODELING SOLID-LIQUID EXTRACTION KINETICS OF TRANS-RESVERATROL AND TRANS-e-VINIFERIN FROM GRAPE CANE
Karacabey, Erkan; Bayındırlı, Levent A.; ARTIK, NEVZAT; Mazza, Giuseppe (Wiley, 2013-02-01)
Solidliquid extraction of resveratrol and viniferin from grape cane samples was described by using first-order kinetic model, Peleg's model, two-site kinetic model and modified Gompertz equation. Goodness of fits of the models were evaluated by comparing the adjusted determination coefficient and root mean square error and mean percentage error values. Although the two-site kinetic model with four parameters described the data better, Peleg's model, with only two parameters, could explain the data with a sl...
