Tempering cycles

Kinetics of ( ) conventional drying and ( ) drying with tempering cycles of slabs of P. ostreatus at 50°C and 3 m/sec. 

Many well-known continuous drying processes were naturally intermittent processes. Indeed, sun drying (grains, fruits, herbs, etc.) can be studied as natural intermittent drying processes with almost 24 h drying/tempering cycles. Intermittent... 

Control of trav and compartment equipment is usually maintained by control of the circulating-air temperature (and humidiy) and rarely by solids temperature. On vacuum units, control of the absolute pressure and heating-medium temperature is utihzed. In direct dryers, cycle controllers are frequently employed to vary the air temper-... 

Several studies, based on models, examined the effects of land-use change on the global carbon cycle and conclude that there is a net release of carbon due to land clearing. However, the results and conclusions of these studies are based on assumed sizes of vegetation carbon pools which are inputs to the models. For example, Melillo et al. 24) concluded that boreal and temperate deciduous forests of the northern hemisphere are net sources of atmospheric carbon. Their analysis used values for carbon density derived by Whittaker and Likens 19) from work by Rodin and Bazilevich (27). Rodin and Bazilevich extrapolated results of small, unrelated studies in Europe and the USSR to estimate total biomass of Eurasian boreal and temperate deciduous forests. Their estimates have since been extrapolated to forests worldwide and are used often today.

Advanced power generation cycles that combine high-temper-ature fuel cells and gas turbines, reciprocating engines, or another fuel cell are the hybrid power plants of the future. As noted, these conceptual systems have the potential to achieve efficiencies greater than 70% and projected to be commercially ready by the year 2010 or sooner. The hybrid fuel cell/turbine (FC/T) power plant will combine a high-temperature, conventional molten carbonate fuel cell or a solid oxide...
