Comparison of Microwave Drying and Conventional Drying of Coal
… the requirements of the client. In many cases, drying becomes a necessary step to control the moisture content. Conventional thermal drying is inefficient and is not environmentally friendly. This study investigates the application of microwaves as an alternative heat source for drying coal. The …

Modeling microwave heating of apple cylinders using hybrid mixture theory based transport equations coupled with Maxwell's laws of electromagnetism
To develop an efficient microwave drying scheme for apple cylinders, a multiscale mathematical model was developed to predict the moisture and temperature profiles. Two-scale hybrid mixture theory (HMT) based transport equations were utilized to describe the fluid (water & gas phases) transport …

From Cultivation to Commercialisation: The Stability, Degradation, and Interactions of Astaxanthin in Haematococcus lacustris Biomass
… as an antioxidant under various biomass drying treatments, temperature regimes, and after the addition of additives. During H. lacustris cultivation, more extensive red phase induction strategies were found to increase astaxanthin accumulation, reaching up to 2.25% of cellular dry weight. …

Fruit development and oil content of olives grown in the South Island of New Zealand: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Horticultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University
… for the dry matter percentage calculations, a microwave drying method was developed for olive fruit. This was based on the protocol developed for the avocado industry (U.C.A.N.R., 2002). Olive fruit were dehydrated by microwave heating for a period of 50 minutes at a low power setting. Dry …
