Characterizing the Performance of a Single-layer Fabric System through a Heat and Mass Transfer Model
DownloadSpring 2010
A mathematical model is developed to study the coupled heat and moisture transfer through a fabric system that consists of a single layer of fabric and an air gap. Properties of air and moisture are sensitive to temperature and hence are assumed to be functions of local temperature. Therefore the...

Influence of Water Activity on Thermal Resistance of Salmonella enterica and Quality changes in Low-moisture Foods
DownloadSpring 2019
Low-moisture foods (with aw < 0.85) including pet foods and black pepper powder have been associated with major recalls due to contamination by Salmonella spp. Increased thermal resistance and prolonged survival at low-moisture conditions are major challenges to achieve effective inactivation of...

Spring 2024
Double wythe masonry cavity walls consist of two masonry wythes, an exterior layer typically made of clay-backed or ceramic bricks (veneer) and the inner layer composed of concrete masonry units (CMU), which serves as a structural backup. In typical cavity wall design, the two wythes are assumed...
