Intermittent microwave convective drying (IMCD) is an advanced technology that improves both energy efficiency and food quality in drying. Modelling of IMCD is essential to understand the physics of this advanced drying process and to optimize the microwave power level and intermittency during dryin...

A comprehensive multiphase porous media model was developed and validated for apple drying. Thermal, transport, and structural properties of apple required to develop such model were formulated and presented. The model considered the transport of liquid water by capillary diffusion and gas pressure,...

Safe drinking water crisis is seen as a high global risk. Developing countries like Bangladesh suffer much in this issue and when it is in coastal region the problem become severe. Due to high salinity people cannot use the ground in most of the places here and water level is decreasing day by day. ...

Microwave power is used for heating and drying processes because of its faster and volumetric heating capability. Non-uniformtemperature distributionduring microwaveapplication is a major drawbackof these processes. Intermittent application of microwavepotentially reduces the impact of non-uniformit...
