Drying behavior of solid digestate and reaction kinetics of ammonium degradation during laboratory-scale drying.

Fundamental knowledge of the drying behavior and ammonia emission from digestate is required in order to properly design efficient drying processes. In this study, laboratory-scale drying experiments with two different digestates (D1 and D2) were conducted at four different drying temperatures (50, 60, 70, and 80 °C). The solid digestate D1 mainly consisted of plant silage (88.

Investigation of nitrogen loss during laboratory scale fixed-bed drying of digestate.

In addition to the drying kinetics of digestate, a comprehensive knowledge is necessary on nitrogen loss and ammonia emissions in order to appropriately develop and design a dryer. Otherwise, these phenomena would result in environmental concerns and reduce the nutrient value of digestate. Expectedly, drying parameters considerably affect drying time.

Dominant physical mechanisms governing the forced-convective cooling process of white mushrooms ().

Nowadays, numerical modelling has been extensively converted to a powerful instrument in most agricultural engineering applications. In this study, a mathematical model was developed to simulate the forced-air cooling process of mushroom. The simulation was performed in CFD code Fluent 19.

Intestinal tuberculosis: Easier overlooked than diagnosed. The medical history of two Asian immigrants suffering from intestinal tuberculosis demonstrates the difficulties in finding the correct diagnosis. Intestinal tuberculosis resembles Crohn's disease with regard to clinical symptoms, macroscopic and microscopic intestinal findings.
