The potential of climate-resilient energy practices depends on the integration of sustainable
energy with energy storage, such as solar energy. Solar energy offers desirable thermal …

The overuse of fossil fuels in real life applications has caused their rapid depletion and fast
climate change due to global warming and thus access to eco-friendly energy resources has …

The thin layer drying behaviour of eggplants in a laboratory dryer was examined. Drying
characteristics of eggplants were determined using heated ambient air at temperatures from …

Solar radiation use for drying is one of the oldest applications of solar energy. It was used
since the dawn of mankind mainly for food preservation but also for drying other useful …

Hot air, microwave and hot air-microwave drying characteristics of kiwifruits (5.03±0.236 mm
thick) were investigated. Drying rates, shrinkage and rehydration capacities of these drying …

This paper presents the experimental investigation of indirect forced convection solar dryer
integrated with sensible heat storage material (SHSM) and phase change material (PCM) in …

In order to establish the influence of the drying air characteristics on the drying performance
of figs (ficus carica) several drying tests have been carried out in a laboratory scale tunnel …

The effect of air conditions (air temperature, air humidity and air velocity) and characteristic
sample size on drying kinetics of various plant materials (potato, carrot, pepper, garlic …

The thin layer solar drying experiments of organic tomato using solar tunnel dryer were
conducted under the ecological conditions of Ankara, Turkey. During the experiments …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the application of vacuum-microwave drying
(240, 360, and 480 W) in the production process of dehydrated strawberry and to compare …
