This research focuses on the drying kinetics of industrial pineapple processing waste a flat plate, revealing two-phase process: an initial phase with constant rate followed by decreasing rate. During phase, convective mass transfer coefficient, influenced temperature variations from 40 to 70 °C, ranged 5.69 × 10−7 2.79 m s−1. The study introduced novel approach modeling applying equations derived Fick equation. process involved determining activation energy and thermodynamic properties...

The mesquite tree (Prosopis juliflora) is cultivated across 500,000 hectares in the semi-arid region of Brazil, primarily aimed at recovering degraded areas northeastern part country, which represents 15.7% national territory. However, its economic potential remains underutilized. Mesquite pods are particularly rich carbohydrates, making them a promising raw material for bioethanol production. This study investigates production first-generation from as feedstock. Mature were sourced local...

O presente estudo teve como intuito observar o comportamento reológico do leite de cabra em variadas concentrações (20, 25, 30, 35 e 40%), avaliando posteriormente qual concentração é mais adequada para processo secagem leite. Observou-se que todas as leite, tensões cisalhamento são baixas aumentam quando a taxa deformação também aumenta. Tal típico um fluido não newtoniano. Esse fato ocorre principalmente na 40%, possui maior viscosidade. É notório uma necessita tensão iniciar escoamento,...
