The variation of these parameters in the solid matrix and in time during the drying of Spirulina platensis has not known an advanced understanding. The objective of this study was to evaluate the evolution of the water content profile, the mass flow, the concentration gradient and the diffusion coefficient during the drying of Spirulina platensis taking into account the shrinkage. Modeling and experimental analysis (at 50°C and HR = 6%) by the cutting method a cylinder 20 mm in diameter and 40 mm thick were carried. The water content profiles of two different products grown in semi-industrial farms from Burkina Faso and France with initial water contents respectively of the range from 2.73 kgw/kgdb and 3.12 kgw/kgdb were determined. These profiles have been adjusted by a polynomial function. Identical water behavior is observed regardless of the origin of the samples. Water distribution is heterogeneous. Mass flow and concentration gradient are greater at the edge than inside the product. The water transport coefficient, ranging from 1.70 × 10?10 to 94 × 10?10 m2/s, is determined from a linear approach.展开更多

Sections were cut from embedded blocks to avoid a border artefact described earlier. Results showed that: 1) no gelatinous fibres were observed under a growth strain level from 0.06% to 0.08%; 2) almost all of the non-conductive tissues contained gelatinous fibres above a growth strain level from 0.15% to 0.19%; 3) the amount of fibres, the amount of fibres with gelatinous layer, per unit of tissue area, and the thickness of the gelatinous layers controlled most of the magnitude of growth stress; 4) the contribution of the S2 layer in both fibre types could also play a role in the growth stress generation.展开更多

One simple formulation is proposed and it is shown that it is the exact discretization of the continuous Discrete Radon Transform. More precisely this is the case when the sampling is given on a regular grid i.e. the continuous function is filtered by the mean of the box function. Relation of this transform with the Discrete Fourier one is given and is for some help in numerical implementation.展开更多
