TL;DR: In this article, the effect of four drying techniques namely hot air drying (AD), infrared drying (IRD), hot air-assisted radio frequency drying (RFD), and microwave-assisted hot-air drying (HEAD) was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model comprising conservation of mass, momentum, and ions for a hydrogel subject to alterations of the solution pH is derived, analyzed, validated and presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of drying temperature (50, 53, 56, 59, 62, and 65°C) and pulsed vacuum ratio defined as the vacuum pressure duration versus atmosphere pressure duration (3:3, 6:6, 9:2, 12:5, 15:1, 18:4 min/min) on PVD characteristics and quality attributes of wolfberry in terms of polysaccharide content, color parameters (L*, a*, b*, ΔE, and C), rehydration ratio and microstructure were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate various alternative thermal management strategies for PEFC stacks, e.g., forced convection in specially designed cooling plate/channel with either liquid or air as the coolant, edge-air cooling with fins and combine oxidant and coolant flow (open-cathode) with (iv) forced and (v) natural convection air cooling.

TL;DR: In this article, a modified spouted bed, viz. pulsed spouted beds, was developed to offset some of the limitations of the conventional spouting bed, i.e., spouting mechanism, solid circulation rates, and maximum spoutable bed height.
