This review paper is focused on the various modelling techniques for the solar dryer system.
The modelling techniques are very important to develop, increase drying efficiency, analyse …

In the present work, Multi-layer perceptron (MLP), Generalized regression neural network
(GRNN), Radial basis function (RBF) and Multiple linear regression (MLR) models has been …

The purpose of this study was to determine the viability of modeling the instantaneous
thermal efficiency (η ith) of a solar still, using weather and operational data with Multi-Layer …

In this study, hybrid solar drying of coffee beans was performed, and energy analysis was
carried out, to assess the system's performance, in terms of energy efficiency, compared to …

Despite the numerous solar dryers reported by researchers in Nigeria, farmers in Zaria
Nigeria continue to dry tomato by traditional open sun drying method, the inherent problems …

This work aims to establish a mathematical model for studying, describing and evaluating
the thermal performance of a solar drying device. Therefore, in order to be able to test the …

Forced convection grain dryers are more efficient and achieve greater drying rates than
natural convection dryers. However, it is necessary to dry an appropriate grain layer …

My heart felt gratitude goes to my supervisors, Prof. Daudi Nyaanga and Dr Jeremy Kiplagat,
for their guidance during the entire research process and thesis writing. Special thanks are …

Dried vine fruit (raisin, sultana and currant) is the second (after wine) most important product
of viticulture. Concerning this, the contamination of dried grape by ochratoxigenic fungi and …

Renewable energy sources such as solar energy for drying purposes in a more effective and
efficient way is inevitable for preservation of agricultural products in developing nations with …
