Abstract:
A drying device based on infrared radiation heating technology combined with temperature and humidity process control technology was created to increase the drying effectiveness and quality of sea buckthorn. Based on the conventional k-turbulence model, the velocity field in the air distribution chamber was simulated using COMSOL 6.0 software. The airflow of the drying medium in the air distribution chamber was investigated, and the accuracy of the model was verified. Given that the inlet of each drying layer in the original model had a different velocity, the velocity flow field was improved by including a semi-cylindrical spoiler. The results showed that installation of the spoiler improved the homogeneity of the flow field for various air intakes, as the highest velocity deviation ratio dropped from 26.68% to 0.88%. We found that sea buckthorn dried more rapidly after being humidified, reducing the drying time by 7.18% and increasing the effective diffusion coefficient from 1.12 × 10-8 to 1.23 × 10-8 m2/s. The L*, rehydration ratio, and vitamin C retention rate were greater after drying with humidification. By presenting this hot-air drying model as a potential high-efficiency and high-quality preservation technology for sea buckthorn, we hope to advance the development of research in the sea buckthorn drying sector.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant...
