Abstract

In the pasteurizing of beverages in closed containers, the containers arrive generally in a chilled state and are progressively raised in temperature approaching the pasteurizing temperature and, after being pasteurized for an appropriate time, are progressively cooled down. Apparatus of this type is provided with a source of chilled water which is available for use when skips occur in the supply of the containers, the chilled water being accumulated from the incoming containers and from common outside sources. The accumulated water in its chilled state saves substantial amounts of energy by eliminating mechanical or other means to produce the chill effect, and such source of water is constantly available under control which senses the presence of a skip in the supply of containers.

MALT PASTEURIZATION: STERILIZATION OF BARLEY MALT WITH GAMMA RADIATION

Journal Article Kempe, L; Graikoski, J; Stratton, J; ... - J. Agr. Food Chem.

Off-flavored distillates are occasionally produced during the processing of grain mashes to beverage alcohol which can be traced to metabolic activities of bacteria that survive the saccharification step in mashing in which the mesh is maintained at 145 deg F for a short time. Barley malt is the principal source of these bacteria, which are mainly lactobacilli; therefore, attempts were made to sterilize the malt by Co/sup 60/ gamma irradintion. It was shown that 0.112- Mrad irradiation reduced the bacterial counts of malts to very low levels whereas no significant reduction in alpha -amylase or alcohol yields occurred.

WE-A-16A-01: International Medical Physics Symposium: Increasing Access to Medical Physics Education/Training and Research Excellence

Journal Article Bortfeld, T; Ngoma, T; Odedina, F; ... - Medical Physics

In response to a world in which cancer is a growing global health challenge, there is now a greater need for US Medical Physicists and other Radiation Oncology professionals across institutions to work together and be more globally engaged in the fight against cancer. There are currently many opportunities for Medical Physicists to contribute to alleviating this pressing need, especially in helping enhance access to Medical Physics Education/training and Research Excellence across international boundaries, particularly for low and middle-income countries (LMIC), which suffer from a drastic shortage of accessible knowledge and quality training programs in radiotherapy. Many Medical Physicists aremore »« less

Finite Element Simulation of the Acoustic Pressure Inside a Beverage Container for Non-Thermal, Ultrasound-based Pasteurization

Technical Report Branch, Darren

The purpose of this effort is to investigate whether large acoustic pressure waves can be transmitted inside beverage containers to enable pasteurization. Acoustic waves are known to induce large nonlinear compressive forces and shock waves in fluids, suggesting that compression waves may be capable of damaging bacteria inside beverage containers without appreciably increasingly the temperature or altering the freshness and flavor of the beverage contents. Although a combined process such as thermosonication (e.g., sonication with heating) is likely more efficient, it is instructive to compute the acoustic pressure field distribution inside the beverage container. The COMSOL simulations used two andmore »« less

Energy conservation at The University of Miami

Conference Atherton, V; Anzoategui, F

The University of Miami (UM) has embarked on a very important and worthwhile mission: {open_quotes}To make UM one of the most energy efficient Universities in the Nation by the year 2000.{close_quotes} In order for the University to meet this goal we knew we would need to take advantage of all the available technologies and address the freon issues. In June 1990 the Coral Gables Campus had five chilled Water Production Plants, each representing small independent systems serving from four to ten buildings. Because of energy conservation measures of the past (i.e. elimination, reheat, first generation lighting retrofits, and some diversity),more »« less
HOTSPOT ENABLED ACCURATE DETERMINATION OF COMMON AREA OCCUPANCY USING NETWORK TOOLS (HEADCOUNT)

Technical Report Giler, Eric

The amount of energy currently used to heat, cool, and ventilate buildings (HVAC) is about 13% of the entire United States energy consumption. Much of this energy is wasted because it is used when buildings are either not occupied at all or occupied well under their maximum design conditions. Human presence sensing could generate significant energy savings by enabling temperature and ventilation set-backs but will only gain commercial acceptance if the sensors are extremely accurate. Traditional motion sensors, often used in buildings to adjust lighting levels, lack the ability to detect stationary sources, differentiate humans from pets and other objects,more »« less
