Storage of bulk biomass materials is essential along the feedstock supply chain of bioenergy
production. The self-heating accompanying biomass storage has hazardous consequences …

Hygroscopic behavior is an inherent characteristic of bamboo that strongly affects its
mechanical properties, durability, and dimensional stability. In order to understand the …

The aim behind this work is to demonstrate and validate a predictive experimental model of
the thermophysical behaviors of the three argan products, leaves, pulps and fruits, using the …

The objective of this work was to determine the desorption isotherms and thermodynamic
properties of prickly pear seeds. These properties are indispensable, particularly in regard to …

The knowledge of sorption isotherm is of high importance when evaluating the performance
and the durability of building envelope. Whereas the influence of hysteresis was often …

Water vapor sorption is a fundamental physical property of wood and has numerous
implications for the behavior of wood as a building material. As a result, water vapor sorption …

Desorption isotherms of ora-pro-nóbis leaves were determined at storage (5° C, 10° C, 20°
C, 30° C, and 40° C) and drying (40° C, 50° C, 60° C, 70° C, and 80° C) temperatures by the …

Local fish markets are often saturated during periods of full production. Solar drying offers a
suitable alternative to reduce losses of surpluses, and to preserve products for a longer …

The temperature dependency of the adsorption isotherm renders its significance as one of
the primary input parameters in models dealing with moisture transport. The present study …

The aim of this article is to characterize the wood-water relationship and certain moisture
transfer properties of Central African species for which very little data exists in the literature …
