The inconsistency in the quality of dried products at different coordinates within a
conventional multi-stage convective cabinet dryer is a critical but often neglected problem. In …

Drying food is an efficient way to prevent crop decay. However, drying techniques are known
to be intensive processes in which the energy required is usually met by fossil fuels, the …

Air drying kinetics of potato peel samples (1-mm thickness) were mathematically described
with different mass transfer models (internal, external, and mixed). Drying curves at different …

Studying crucial drying parameters, such as activation energy and moisture diffusivity, offers
valuable insights for optimizing food safety. Accurate predictions and simulations through …

Providing a constant heat and power supply for the drying process has remained as a key
challenge. In this innovative work, the potential of an internal combustion engine (ICE) is …

The solar assisted heat pump drying (SAHPD) system offers energy saving, environmental
