The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that the roasting conditions used for hazelnuts, such as the air temperature, air velocity and roasting time (independent variables), could be optimized by using Response Surface Methodology. Effects of independent variables on sensory and physical characteristics were determined. A consumer test was used to determine the acceptable samples. Very dark and very light roasted samples, corresponding to 165 degreesC, 3 m/s, 25 min and 125 degreesC, 1 m/s, 15 min process conditions, respectively, were unacceptable. Superimposed contour plots were used to determine the values of independent variables and these showed the process conditions where all product characteristics were acceptable to consumers. At low velocity (0.3 m/s), acceptable products were produced at about 165-179 degreesC for 20-25 min. When air velocity increased, air temperature shifted to lower temperatures. Samples roasted at 145 degreesC, 2 m/s, 28 min, 165 degreesC, 1 m/s, 25 min and 145 degreesC, 3.7 m/s, 20 min produced the most acceptable products. The sample roasted at 165 degreesC, 1 m/s, 25 min required the least air velocity and was the most economical in terms of energy consumed among the samples rated most acceptable by consumers.

Modelling of dropwise condensation on a cylindrical surface including the sweeping effect
Özler, Talip Emrah; Yamalı, Cemil; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
The purpose of this study was to analyze the dropwise condensation on a cylindrical surface including the sweeping effect theoretically. For this purpose, first the problem of the equilibrium shape and departure size of drops on the outer surface of a cylinder was formulated. The equations of the surface of the drop were obtained by minimizing (for a given volume) the total energy of the drop which consists of surface and gravitational energy by using the techniques of variational calculus. The departure si...
Investigation on replication of microfluidic channels by hot embossing
Yıldırım, Ender; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir (2017-01-01)
In this study, effects of embossing temperature, time, and force on production of a microfluidic device were investigated. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrates were hot embossed by using a micromilled aluminum mold. The process parameters were altered to observe the variation of replication rate in width and depth as well as symmetry of the replicated microfluidic channels. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the experimental results indicated that embossing temperature was the most important process param...
