Evaluation of EC-5 soil moisture sensors for real-time determination of poultry manure or litter moisture content Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Moisture content (Ψ) of poultry manure or litter is an important property of the material. Relating manure or litter Ψ to its ammonia (NH3) emission is conducive to assessing and/or controlling real-time ammonia emissions from the manure or litter. However, means to measure manure or litter Ψ on a real-time basis is lacking. This study was carried out to characterize the operational performance of a commercially available soil moisture sensor ...
Determination of the moisture diffusivity of rammed earth from transient capillary absorption moisture content profiles KU Leuven
The determination of the moisture diffusivity in the capillary range is studied for rammed earth building ma terials, using the X-ray method. To prevent liquefaction and expansion of these materials during the capillary absorption test, a brick wick and paper are added as lower sample parts and a confining sealing is utilised. Since the wick and paper bring about a composite case, the compatibility with the Boltzmann transformation must be ...
Influence of substrate surface roughness and moisture content on tensile adhesion performance of 3D printable concrete Ghent University
Long-term soil moisture content estimation using satellite and climate data in agricultural area of Mongolia Ghent University
Modelling of particle surface moisture content to estimate growth rate in fluidised bed agglomeration Ghent University
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of particle surface moisture content on growth rate during agglomeration. In order to establish the relationship between process conditions and particle surface moisture content and temperature (and their spatial distribution in the fluidized bed), the combined population balance and thermodynamic model, as described by Ronsse et al. (2007a,b), was used. Growth kinetics were ...
Particle surface moisture content estimation using population balance modelling in fluidised bed agglomeration Ghent University
Two-dimensional moisture content and size measurement of pharmaceutical granules after fluid bed drying using near-infrared chemical imaging Ghent University
In pharmaceutical wet granulation, drying is a critical step in terms of energy and material consumption, whereas granule moisture content and size are important process outcomes that determine tabletting performance. The drying process is, however, very complex due to the multitude of interacting mechanisms on different scales. Building robust physical models of this process therefore requires detailed data. Current data collection methods only ...
Effect of temperature, time and wheat gluten moisture content on wheat gluten network formation during thermomolding KU Leuven
A plastic-like material can be obtained by thermomolding wheat gluten protein which consists of glutenin and gliadin. We studied the effect of molding temperature (130â170 °C), molding time (5â25 min) and initial wheat gluten moisture content (5.6â18.0%) on the gluten network. Almost no glutenins were extractable after thermomolding irrespective of the molding conditions. At the lowest molding temperature, the extractable gliadin content ...
