This paper presents a numerical investigation of an indirect solar dryer for wood, using an
absorber placed directly behind the transparent cover on the top of the dryer with a layer of …

This work aims to study and characterize the drying kinetics, the heat mass transfer
coefficients, the densities, the thermal effusivities, the thermal diffusivities and Young's …

A solar dryer for wood was constructed and modelled based on the climatic condition of
Epinal, France, during the summer, spring and winter seasons. The solar dryer was able to …

The aim of this article is to characterize the wood-water relationship and certain moisture
transfer properties of Central African species for which very little data exists in the literature …

Since 2010, huge quantities of Sargassum spp. algae have been proliferating in the Atlantic
Ocean and stranding on Caribbean beaches, causing major economic, environmental, and …

This paper aimed at determining the quantity, nature and role of extracts during the sorption
behavior of two Central African hardwood species: Nauclea diderrichii (Bilinga) and …

This paper presents a modeling and a numerical study that allows following the variation of
the moisture content, temperature, drying rate and heat and mass transfer coefficients of four …

This study is aimed at investigating the moisture sorption behavior and thin‐layer drying
kinetics of local sweet potato sada (LSPS) variety slices. The sweet potato tubers were …
