In the field of convective drying, several models have been proposed by different research groups, both theoretical and empirical. However, research on theoretical mathematical …
In this study, a three-stage solar dryer using solar convection, convection-microwave, and solar desiccant absorption-assisted convection drying was developed and evaluated. This …
This work analyzes the heat transfer and fluid flow within a batch reactor for hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of raw olive pomace (ROP). The autoclave is partially filled with a …
This study focuses on the open-air drying of sewage sludge and highlights the phenomena of shrinkage and cracking. It aims to determine the effective diffusion coefficient of five …
This paper introduces a novel application for surrogate modeling in the context of coupled heat and mass transfer during drying using physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). The …
