This anaerobic digestion (AD) study investigated the effect of inoculum to substrate ratio (ISR 4.00 to 0.25) on viability of methanogenesis using simulated food waste as substrate. Given the complexity of the AD process, this study considered the interdependency of AD parameters and their effect on biogas production, as the digestion progressed. M...

We consider a general capillary pressure model with a fractal dimension parameter. Using the fractional flow equation, together with the general capillary pressure expression incorporated with normalized water saturation; we establish an expression of water cut changed by water saturation in oil – water fluid flow area. Applying the concepts of fro...

Drying characteristics of banana slices were determined for 4, 6 and 8mm thickness in a conventional oven dryer at temperatures between 50-70 °C. Six empirical models were used for fitting the experimental drying curve. The influence of banana thickness and temperature on the moisture diffusivity and drying rate were investigated. Temperature stron...
