마늘가루를 상대습도 11%에 84%까지 8단계의 상대습도별로 $5^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C$ 및 $35^{\circ}C$의 온도에 저장하면서 마늘가루의 갈변 및 흡습특성을 조사하였다. 저장시간에 따른 마늘가루의 흡습곡선은 RH 51% 이하에서는 단시간내에 평형에 도달하여 수분함량의 변화가 거의 없었으나 $25^{\circ}C$ 및 $35^{\circ}C$의 RH 67% 이상에서, $5^{\circ}C$의 RH 84%에서 평형수분함량이 급격히 증가하여 갈변현상이 나타났다. 마늘가루의 일분자층 수분함량은 온도에 따라서 5.53%(DB)에서 5.92%(DB)로서 온도가 내려감에 따라 다소 증가하는 경향을 나타냈고 수분함량 및 저장온도가 낮으면 낮을수록 흡습력이 크기 때문에 마늘가루의 장기저장에 방습포장재 가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

Numerical simulations have been carried out for a supersonic two-dimensional flow over open, rectangular cavities (length-to-depth ratios are L/D = 1.0) in order to investigate the effect of non-equilibrium condensation of moist air on supersonic flows around the cavity for the flow Mach number 1.83 at the cavity entrance. In the present computational investigation, a condensing flow was produced by an expansion of moist air in a Laval nozzle. The results obtained showed that in the case with non-equilibrium condensation for L/D = 1.0, amplitudes of oscillation in the cavity became smaller than those without the non-equilibrium condensation. Furthermore, the occurrence of the non-equilibrium condensation reduced the peaks of power spectrum density and the frequency of the flow field oscillation increased in comparison with the case of $S_0$ = 0.

The air permeability of yellow poplar log cross section before and after organosolv pretreatment was investigated, and the moisture absorption of control and organosolv pretreated rectangular parallelepiped specimens was investigated in this study. It was revealed that the diameters of through pores were enlarged and the number of bigger pore was increased by the organosolv pretreatment. The air permeabilities of the cross sections of yellow poplar log were changed from 1.61 darcy to 23.30 darcy, but their weights were reduced by 5 percent. The equilibrium moisture content of control wood specimen at the exposed relative humidity were 5.9 % at 32 %, 9.7 % at 58 %, 14.8 % at 80.5 %, 19.7 % at 90 %, 25.7 % at 95 % and 29.9 % at 100%. The equilibrium moisture content of the specimens pretreated with the parameter of sulfuric acid catalyst of 0.5 % (w/w) were 19.5 % at 32 %, 29.3 % at 58 %, 39.6 % at 80.5 %, 59 % at 90 %, 111.3 % at 95 % and 111.3 % at 100 %, while those pretreated with the parameter of sulfuric acid catalyst of 1.0 % (w/w) were 17.4 % at 32 %, 23.9 % at 58 %, 27.7 % at 80.5 %, 40.6 % at 90 %, 68.8 % at 95 % and 110.0 % at 100 %. The moisture absorption of organosolv pretreated rectangular parallelepiped specimens was higher than that of control specimen.

Purpose: The drying of a thin layer of native cassava starch in a tray dryer was modeled to establish an equation for predicting the drying behavior under given conditions. Methods: Drying tests were performed using samples of native cassava starch over a temperature range of $40-60^{\circ}C$. We investigated the variation in the drying time, dynamic equilibrium moisture content, drying rate period, critical moisture content, and effective diffusivity of the starch with temperature. The starch diffusion coefficient and drying activation energy were determined. A modification of the model developed by Hii et al. was devised and tested alongside fourteen other models. Results: For starch with an initial moisture content of 82% (db), the drying time and dynamic equilibrium moisture content decreased as the temperature increased. The constant drying rate phase preceded the falling rate phase between $40-55^{\circ}C$. Drying at $60^{\circ}C$ occurred only in the falling rate phase. The critical moisture content was observed in the $40-55^{\circ}C$ range and increased with the temperature. The effective diffusivity of the starch increased as the drying temperature increased from 40 to $60^{\circ}C$. The modified Hii et al. model produced randomized residual plots, the highest $R^2$, and the lowest standard error of estimates. Conclusions: Drying time decreased linearly with an increase in the temperature, while the decrease in the moisture content was linear between $40-55^{\circ}C$. The constant drying rate phase occurred without any period of induction over a temperature range of $40-55^{\circ}C$ prior to the falling rate period, while drying at $60^{\circ}C$ took place only in the falling rate phase. The effective diffusivity had an Arrhenius relationship with the temperature. The modified Hii et al. model proved to be optimum for predicting the drying behavior of the starch in the tray dryer.

Drying shrinkage of concrete occurs due to the loss of moisture and thus, it is controlled by moisture diffusion process. On the other hand, the shrinkage causes cracking of concrete and affects its moisture diffusion properties. Therefore, moisture diffusion and drying shrinkage are two coupled processes and their interactive effect is important for the durability of concrete structures. In this paper, the two material parameters in the moisture diffusion equation, i.e., the moisture capacity and humidity diffusivity, are modified by two different methods to include the effect of drying shrinkage on the moisture diffusion. The effect of drying shrinkage on the humidity diffusivity is introduced by the scalar damage parameter. The effect of drying shrinkage on the moisture capacity is evaluated by an analytical model based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics and minimum potential energy principle for a two-phase composite. The mechanical part of drying shrinkage is modeled as an elastoplastic damage problem. The coupled problem of moisture diffusion and drying shrinkage is solved using a finite element method. The present model can predict that the drying shrinkage accelerates the moisture diffusion in concrete, and in turn, the accelerated drying process increases the shrinkage strain. The coupling effects are demonstrated by a numerical example.

This study was performed to determine desorption equilibrium moisture contents(EMC) of rapeseed grown in Korea. EMC values were measured by static method using saturated salt solutions at three temperature levels of 30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$, and eight relative humidity levels in the range from 11.0 to 83.6%. The measured EMC values were fitted to Chung-Pfost, Modified Halsey, Modified Henderson and Modified Oswin models by using nonlinear regression analysis. The results of root mean square errors for four models showed that Halsey and Modified Oswin Models could serve as good models, but the Chung-Pfost and Modified Henderson models could not show reasonably good fitting.

In a previous study, it was revealed that three major softwoods, Japanese pine, Korean pine and Japanese larch, heat-treated at $220^{\circ}C$, could produce high quality dark-colored boards. It is known that heat treatment decreases the hygroscopicity of wood. The hygroscopicity of major domestic softwoods and hardwoods heat-treated at $220^{\circ}C$ was investigated by a saturated salt solution method and compared with that of black and white charcoals. Equilibrium moisture contents of wood decreased with the increase of heat treatment time. Isotherm shapes of wood species were different from those of charcoals. Heat treatment decreases the equilibrium moisture contents of black locust more than those of Korean pine and Japanese larch. It was found that surface hardness of wood is improved by heat treatment to a certain extent, but a longer heat treatment causes thermal degradation, resulting in the decrease of the surface hardness.

The latent heat of vaporization in rough rice, brown rice, white rice and rice hull was calculated by Clausius-Clapeyron equation, which does not require complex constraints as in Othmer method. Equilibrium relative humidity and ratio of the latent heat of vaporization with ln$P_{\upsilon}$ and ln$P_S$ were estimated with moisture contents ranging from 10% (d.b.) to 36% (d.b.) with 2% (d.b.) increment and temperatures ranging from $10^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$ with $2.5^{\circ}C$ increment. An empirical equation for calculating the latent heat of vaporization in rice was developed as a function of moisture content and temperature. The equation agreed well with the calculated results. The ratio for latent heat of vaporization were the greatest for white rice while they were similar among rough rice, brown rice and rice hull.
