Abstract

Drying technology plays a critical role in preserving and enhancing the quality of agricultural products, particularly in the post-harvest handling of Arabica coffee. In this experimental study, Arabica coffee beans were dried using a solar drying chamber equipped with a collector system to achieve standard moisture content. A total of 6000 grams of coffee beans were dried over 28 hours, with the system operating under an average chamber temperature of 40°C and a peak solar radiation intensity of 1122 W/m² occurring at 12:00 PM. The drying process utilized an air velocity of 9.2 m/s to enhance heat and mass transfer within the chamber. Among all trays tested, tray 2 produced the best quality beans with a final moisture content of 11.8%, aligning with the recommended standard for green coffee storage. These results demonstrate that integrating high air velocity and optimized collector design in a solar drying chamber can significantly reduce moisture content while maintaining bean quality, thereby offering an effective and sustainable alternative to conventional drying methods.

Abstract

Corrosion is the greatest challenge faced by various industries, especially those in maritime regions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of Rosmarinus officinalis extract as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel AISI 1045 in artificial seawater. Steel samples with varying inhibitor concentrations (0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 ppm) were immersed for 25 days. The results indicate that the weight gain due to corrosion for the sample without an inhibitor reached 79.5 mg, while the use of rosemary significantly reduced the weight gain, with the lowest corrosion rates recorded at 90 ppm (0.003 mpy) and 120 ppm (0.005 mpy). The optimal inhibitor efficiency was achieved at 60 ppm (75.57%). Microstructural analysis showed a decrease in pitting corrosion thickness and the formation of a new phase, Fe₃O₄, which is more stable and protective. These findings emphasize the potential of rosemary extract as an environmentally friendly solution for controlling corrosion in carbon steel, particularly in corrosive environments like seawater.
