The aim of this research is to design and create the sorting machine within the engineering knowledge by using the three-layer sieve set cylindrical sorting machine under the various conditions of experimental. Furthermore the Specific Energy Consumption [SEC] of Robusta coffee bean separates the standard size of Robusta coffee bean the total of product separated are regarded. For the experiment condition rotation speed adjustable to 9.6 and 14.4 rpm. The raw material flow through to sieve and determination the standard size for calculating the [SEC]. The result of experiment found that the average of total of product separated was 165.1 kg/hr. and 164.7 kg/hr or 99.57% from that were passed the criteria of standard according to the ministry of agriculture cooperative. In order to the [SEC] the cylindrical sorting machine was 0.01631 MJ/kg at 14.4 rpm of rotation speed. However the values of [SEC] may be change from the effect of rotation speed of sieve set.

Here we present an experimental study of the single-effect adsorption cooling system using activated carbon-methanol working pair. The test unit was comprised of an adsorber a condenser and evaporator in vertical alignment. Heating and cooling of adsorber was mainly done by hot and cold water circulating through the water jacket. The evaporator and condenser was heated or cooled by flows of water through the internal coil. The adsorber was analyzed for its cooling rate when cooling was done by two approaches either cooling water and/or three thermosyphon heat pipes which both methods gave shortest cooling time. The investigated heat source and sink temperatures are; hot water temperature supplied to adsorber (70 80 90 oC) and cooling water temperature supplied to condenser (5 10 15 oC). An ultrasonic wave generator was attached to the bottom end of the evaporator to generate wave frequency varied by 8 10 and 14 kHz during evaporation phase. The ultrasonic wave can obviously reduce the evaporation time of methanol as well as to improve the system performance in terms of COP SCP and VCP. The system performance was considerably comparable to those from literatures. The highest COP and SCP obtained from this system was 0.718 and 248.90 W/kg respectively.

In recently years geopolymer or polysialate composites have been developed and applied for a variety of fields. They are known as inorganic matrices composites which are fabricated and cured at room temperature or thermoseted in a simple autoclave. Geopolymer composites provide an excellent opportunity for achieving the goal of producing low cost high temperature resistant composite. The aim of this study is an investigation and comparing the flexural properties of geopolymer composites after reinforcements were influenced by plasma treatment with original fibre fabric. And preliminary results of the improvement in tensile strength Young’s modulus elongation of E-glass fibre fabric due to plasma treatment are studied in this paper. Many reinforcements and geopolymer matrices are now available but our works are focused on geopolymer composite Q17 Q13K-1 combination with E-glass fibre fabric which was investigated fabrication procedures together with their specific properties of these materials have been evaluated compared and discussed.

However recognized as more sustainable and safer way for crop production organic agriculture is still facing many technical difficulties. One of the problems is concerning the management of posthavest disease caused by fungal pathogens. Since the applications of synthetic fungicides are prohibited thus organically produced crops are more vulnerable to be attacked by pathogens. Therefore the development of novel reliable and more compliant technologies for diseases management are required. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the potential use of plant essential oils as biofumigant to control of fungal diseases of tomato during storage. We selected three essential oils including clove oil cinnamon oil and ajowan oil for this study. The in vitro test for antifungal activity showed that the volatile headspace of the three oils exhibited potent effect on the test pathogens which includes Botrytis cinerea Fusaruim oxysporum and Aspergillus niger. Then ajowan oil which showed highest inhibitory effect was further evaluated for its effectiveness when applied as biofumigant. Results from the experiment indicated that fumigation with ajowan oil can reduce the occurrence gray mold decay of tomato (caused by B. cinerea) significantly. The rate of control was up to 100 % during fifteen days of storage at 20 ºC. These results support the idea of using the essential oil as biofumigant for protection of postharvest tomato from fungal diseases. However further comprehensive studies are still required especially on the issues concerning the reliability and eco-efficiency of this method at trial and commercial level.

This study was investigated the pretreatment of dye effluent from dyeing process by activated carbon. The study parameters were color strength operating time and types of dyestuff such as direct dye reactive dye acid dye basic dye and disperse dye. The results found the activated carbon was achieved to adsorb the colorant. The pretreatment process used 100 – 200 gram activated carbon to one liter of dye effluent. The contact time was 2 hours at room temperature. The dyeing conditions had an influent for pretreatment process. The acidic condition was favored than neutral and basic condition. In addition the dye removal efficiency was basic dye > acid dye > disperse dye > direct dye > reactive dye.
