Performance Analysis of an Impeller Husker considering the Physicaland Mechanical Properties of Paddy Rice
(Silsoe Research Institute, 2001)
Some physical and mechanical properties of three varieties of rice namely; Akitakomachi (short grain), Delta and L201 (long grain) were determined and used in the performance analysis of an impeller husker. Grain motion ...
Effect of brining on the drying rate of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a solar tunnel dryer
(Acta Press, 2008)
This study determined effect of on the drying rate of tilapia in a solar tunnel dryer. Tilapia fish was split into pieces of 4cm by 3cm by 9mm and soaked into four brine concentrations varying between 0-15%. Moisture content ...
Modeling Thin Layer Drying of Amaranth Seeds under Open Sun and Natural Convection Solar Tent Dryer
(2009)
Thin layer drying studies of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus) seeds were carried out under open sun and natural convection solar tent dryer. The ambient temperature and relative humidity ranged from 22.6–30.4 ...

Enhancing household food and income securitythrough crop diversification in the Nzoia and Mumiassugarbelts in Kenya
(FACT Limited, 2009)
Objective: Competition for land use among crops in the Nzoia and Mumias sugar belts hastened to favour sugarcane and maize at the expense of indigenous food crops such as onions, tomatoes, cassava and sweet ...
Husking Characteristics of Short and Long grain Rice byRubber roll Husker (Part 1): Dynamic Analysis of a Single Grain Motion
(The Japanese Society of Agricultural Machinery and Food Engineers, 2001)
Dynamic analysis of grain motion in an experimental rubber roll husker was carried out using short and long grain rice. The short grain rice variety used was Akitakomachi and the long grain rice varieties were Delta and ...
A Case for the Revision of Power Engineering Syllabi at Kenyan Universities

This paper presents a summary of the current status of Elec-trical Power Engineering Education at Kenyan universities,followed by a summary of the situation on the same at universities world-wide. Against a backdrop of ...
Influence of Brining on the Drying Parameters of Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus)in a Glass-Covered Solar Tunnel Dryer
(2009)
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of brining on the drying rate of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a glass-covered solar tunnel dryer. Tilapia fish, eviscerated, and split into pieces ...
Analysis of Electromagnetic Transmission through Dielectric filled Apertures of Arbitrary Shape in a Thick Conducting Screen
(2005)
The paper deals with an extension of the previous work appearing in a past issue of this transaction by the authors on hybrid FEM/MOM technique for analyzing transmission properties of arbitrarily shaped apertures on a ...
Effect of Peripheral Velocity Difference Ratio on the Performance of Rubber Roll Huske
(The Japanese Society of Agricultural Machinery and Food Engineers, 2000)
The difference in speed between the rubber rolls results in a shearing action on the rice
grain as it passes between the rolls (Yamashita et al 1990, FA, 1995). The shearing force is thus dependent on the relative velocity ...
