The uniformity of hot air flow inside the airflow dryer not only affects the moisture distribution at the outlet, but also affects the quality of the product. Based on the guide plate structure of the SH23A airflow tobacco dryer, a gradient curved guide plate dryer is designed, and the flow field distribution of the dryer is numerically investigated under different flow distribution conditions at the hot air inlet and flue gas inlet. The results show that the airflow uniformity is affected by the flow distribution at the inlet of the heated air and the inlet of the cigarette smoke, the structure of the guide plate, etc., the non-uniformity coefficient decreases with the increase of hot air inlet flow rate. The non-uniformity coefficient of tapered arc deflector decreases by 9-12 %.

Considering the short shelf life of fresh pumpkin due to its high water content and the extensive use of dried pumpkin in the food industry, it is necessary to find an efficient drying method that minimizes water activity and preserves nutritional properties. In this study, the effects of hot air drying (HAD), vacuum drying (VAD), and conductive drying (CD) at 50, 60, and 70 °C on fatty acid profiles were investigated to determine optimal drying conditions that preserve fatty acid (FA) quality and associated nutritional benefits. Results showed that drying methods had a significant effect ( < 0.

The use of black alder (BA) bark biomass in rigid polyurethane (PUR) foam compositions was the main task of investigation. Extractive compounds isolated from the bark through hot water extraction were used as precursors for bio-polyol synthesis via acid-free liquefaction with the polyether polyol Lupranol 3300 and through oxypropylation with propylene carbonate. The OH functionality and composition of the polyols were analyzed via wet chemistry and FTIR spectroscopy.

This paper provides a detailed analysis of the operation of representative forging tools (in the context of using various surface engineering techniques) used in the process of the hot forging of nickel-chromium steel elements. The influence of the microstructure and hardness of the material on the durability of the tools is also discussed, which is important for understanding the mechanisms of their wear. The research showed that the standard tools used in the process (only after nitriding) as a reference point worked for the shortest period, making an average of about 1400 forgings.

Continuous supply of NADPH is necessary for the synthesis of ROS, which can be derived from the decarboxylation of malic acid, providing fuels for RbOHs to sustain ROS production. However, excessive accumulations of ROS lead to significant chilling injury (CI) in peaches during cold storage. Our previous studies indicated that hot air (HA) slows the CI progression in peaches by preventing malate degradation.
