Inspired by the functional behavior of the biological nervous system of the human brain, the
artificial neural network (ANN) has found many applications as a superior tool to model …

Fresh fruits and vegetables have higher moisture contents and deteriorate over a short
period of time if not handled appropriately. Available storage technologies such as …

The effects of alkali emulsion of ethyl oleate and air temperature (60, 70 and 75° C) on the
drying characteristics of sweet cherry were studied using a hot air dryer at a constant air …

In this study, banana slices were dried at different temperatures in a closed-loop heat pump
drying system. As the temperature and the slice thickness increased, the drying time also …

This study investigated the effect of using phase change materials (PCMs) in a cabinet dryer
on thermal and drying efficiency. Three positions related to PCM inside the cabinet were …

Low thermal efficiency is one of the main problems in using solar collectors in different fields.
In the present study, the effect of using phase change materials (PCM) inside the Flat plate …

This study was aimed to examine the effect of sun tracking system on the solar drying
kinetics of biological materials. A lab-scale PV-assisted solar drying system equipped with a …

In the present work, the experimental studies performed through the thermo-economical
analysis of Jerusalem artichoke slices dried by an indirect cabinet solar dryer with …

In the present investigation, far infrared (FIR) assisted refractance window (RW) drying (FIR+
RW) of apple slices (2 and 5 mm) was evaluated in comparison with RW and hot air (HA) …

Drying of agricultural products is a good way to store wet products. In recent decades, using
solar dryers has received much attention due to the environmental problems of using fossil …
