    Applicability of ohmic heating assisted vacuum evaporation for concentration of sour cherry juice

    Sabanci, Serdal; Icier, Filiz

    Sour cherry juice having total soluble solids (TSS) of 19.2% was evaporated up to 65% TSS at vacuum (gauge pressure of 580 mm-Hg) by applying ohmic heating at three different voltage gradients (10–14 V/cm). Total process times were determined as 40, 55, 75, and 85 min for 14 V/cm, 12 V/cm, and 10 V/cm, and vacuum evaporation (VE), respectively. The change of moisture content during ohmic assisted vacuum evaporation and VE processes were investigated by seven different empirical models. The best fitting model was Midilli model for three different voltage gradients and VE. The electrical conductivity values at different voltage gradients varied between 0.41 and 1.13 S/m for different TSS contents. The changes of EC values were examined in detail for three different regions; heating up period, first evaporation period, and second evaporation period. EC increased until a critical % TSS content (32% TSS), then remained constant for certain time (until 45% TSS) depending on voltage gradient, and then it had tendency to decrease. Ohmic heat generation increased sharply during heating period, then decreased dramatically during evaporation periods. It is recommended that ohmic heating could be alternatively used as the heat source to shorten the process times of vacuum evaporation applied for concentration of fruit juices.

    Passive flow control in the near wake of a circular cylinder using attached permeable and inclined short plates

    Ozkan, Gokturk M.; Firat, Erhan; Akilli, Huseyin

    The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of attached permeable plates in suppressing nominally two-dimensional vortex shedding from a fixed cylinder. The permeable plate along the entire span of the cylinder was made of a chrome-nickel screen and was attached normal to the cylinder surface. The main parameters of the study are porosity of the permeable plate, β, and the plate angle of the cylinder-plate arrangement, θ, with respect to the freestream. Experiments were performed using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Flow Visualization Techniques. Additionally, drag force measurements were carried out in a wind tunnel to analyze the effects of permeable plates on drag coefficient of the circular cylinder. The results revealed that the use of a permeable plate successfully suppresses the vortex shedding downstream of the circular cylinder by reducing the velocity fluctuations in the wake, elongating the vortex formation region further downstream and attenuating the vortex shedding frequency. The porosity values of β=0.4 and 0.5 with plate angles in the range of 35°≤θ≤90° were found to be effective on suppressing the vortex shedding. Furthermore, both the drag coefficients of the cylinder-plate arrangement and the <TKE>maxwere reduced almost for all porosity ratios for θ<30°.

    A beam search approach for solving type II robotic parallel assembly line balancing problem

    Çil, Zeynel Abidin; Mete, Süleyman; Özceylan, Eren; Ağpak, Kürşad

    In a robotic assembly line, a series of stations are arranged along a conveyor belt and a robot performs on tasks at each station. Parallel assembly lines can provide improving line balance, productivity and so on. Combining robotic and parallel assembly lines ensure increasing flexibility of system, capacity and decreasing breakdown sensitivity. Although aforementioned benefits, balancing of robotic parallel assembly lines is lacking – to the best knowledge of the authors- in the literature. Therefore, a mathematical model is proposed to define/solve the problem and also iterative beam search (IBS), best search method based on IBS (BIBS) and cutting BIBS (CBIBS) algorithms are presented to solve the large-size problem due to the complexity of the problem. The algorithm also tested on the generated benchmark problems for robotic parallel assembly line balancing problem. The superior performances of the proposed algorithms are verified by using a statistical test. The results show that the algorithms are very competitive and promising tool for further researches in the literature.

    Ohmic heating assisted vacuum evaporation of pomegranate juice: Electrical conductivity changes

    Icier, Filiz; Yildiz, Hasan; Sabanci, Serdal; Cevik, Mutlu; Cokgezme, Omer Faruk

    A novel electrical heating method, named as ohmic heating, was successfully integrated to vacuum evaporation system, and pomegranate juice was concentrated until its total soluble dry matter content reached to 40% by applying three different voltage gradients (7.5, 10, and 12.5 V/cm) at 180 mm Hg absolute pressure in this system. Total evaporation times were determined as 152, 78, and 53 min at the voltage gradients of 7.5, 10, and 12.5 V/cm, respectively. The concentration time of pomegranate juice was shortened about 56% by ohmic heating relative to conventional evaporation. The electrical conductivity values were increased up to reach 25% TSDM for 7.5 V/cm and at 35% TSDM for 10 V/cm, then showed a decreasing pattern. However, it was constant (0.55 ± 0.01 S/m) during evaporation process at 12.5 V/cm. It is recommended that the ohmic heating method could be successfully integrated to vacuum evaporation process to shorten the processing time significantly. Industrial relevance Ohmic heating has been utilized as alternative method for the purpose of heating, pasteurization, cooking etc., and relatively better products can be obtained by ohmic heating. Nowadays, energy efficient systems are needed in concentrated juice production. The integration of ohmic heating to the conventional vacuum systems could serve the production high quality juice concentrates with efficient use of energy. In present study, ohmic heating assisted vacuum evaporation of pomegranate juice was conducted, successfully. This method decreased the total process time for juice concentration, which is critically important for industrial scale productions. This novel method can be implemented to the fruit juice production lines by taking into account of design characteristics of ohmic systems such as electrical conductivity changes depending on both temperature and total soluble solids concentration. The effects of main process parameter, named as voltage gradient, on electrical conductivity changes during electrical heating assisted evaporation process has been also reported in the present study.
