• Mathematical modeling of drying kinetics of black pepper in a spouted bed dryer with and without non porous draft tubes 

  Jayatunga, GK; Amarasinghe, BMWPK [Conference-Abstract]

  A conventional spouted bed dryer and a spouted bed dryer fitted with a non porous draft tube were used to analyze the drying kinetics of black pepper. Minimum air velocities required for black pepper spouting were determined ...
• Rice bran oil extraction : a study on leaching kinetics and cross flow extraction 

  Amarasinghe, BMWPK; Kodithuwakku, DS [Conference-Abstract]

  Rice bran is the thin coating on the rice grain, exists between the rice grain and the rice husk. Rice bran which is a byproduct of the rice milling process is highly nutritious due to the presence of lipids, protein, ...
• Effect of configuration of non-porous draft tubes drying kinetics of black pepper in a spouted bed dryer 

  Jayatunga, GK; Amarasinghe, BMWPK [Article-Abstract]

  Drying of black pepper has been studied in a lab scale spouted bed dryer. Experiments were carried out m a spouted bed dryer with non porous draft tubes and without non porous draft tubes. The highest drying rate was ...
• Drying kinetics of black pepper dried in a spouted bed dryer with or without draft tubes 

  Jayatunga, GK; Amarasinghe, BMWPK [Article-Abstract]

  Drying of black pepper has been studied in a lab scale spouted bed dryer. Experiments were carried out in a spouted bed dryer cither with or without internal devices. The two different internal devices of the dryer are ...
• The effect of coupling agent and mixing methods on properties of natural rubber and low density polyethylene blends 

  Sampath, WDM; Egodage, SM; Edirisinghe, DG [Article-Abstract]

  Coupling agents are molecular bridges at the interface between two substrates, an inorganic filler an organic polymer matrix. When incorporated into polymer systems, they often promote adhesio) improve dispersion, improve ...
