The drying of fruits and vegetables is a complex operation that demands much energy and
time. In practice, the drying of fruits and vegetables increases product shelf‐life and reduces …

Drying is one of the widely used methods of grain, fruit, and vegetable preservation. The
important aim of drying is to reduce the moisture content and thereby increase the lifetime of …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of thin-layer drying-curve models available in
the literature and their comparisons for single-layer drying applications from 2003 to 2013. In …

Solar PV system powered mixed-mode solar tunnel dryer (STD) for drying potato chips was
studied. The STD was equipped with axial dc fan and flat plate solar air collector to enhance …

The influences of drying temperature, hot air velocity and thickness of peach slice on the
drying process were studied in a laboratory convective hot air dryer. The experimental data …

Heat pump drying kinetics and quality characteristics of yacon at different drying
temperatures (5, 15, 25, 35 and 45° C) and air velocities (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 m/s) were …

The aim of this study was to fit a new mathematical model on the thin layer drying curves of
fruits. Thin layer drying studies at different temperatures (60, 80 and 100° C) were carried …

The effect of blanching and drying temperature (50, 60 and 70° C) on drying kinetics and
rehydration ratio of sweet potatoes was investigated. It was observed that both the drying …

Drying harvested microalgae from an average moisture content of 80% wet basis to a safe
moisture content of 10% is challenging. Removing this high amount of water from microalgal …

The present experimental study, the thermal performance of a solar air dryer with solar
tracking system was investigated. Solar air collector (SAC) has been provided with solar …
