This study aims to investigate the performance of an indirect solar dryer for drying various
materials under different operational conditions. The system consists of a solar air collector …

A numerical attempt was carried out for enhancing the heat transfer phenomena of the solar
air collector (SAC) by providing triangular corrugations over the SAC using the commercial …

The present study investigated the energy, exergy, economic and environmental (4E)
analysis of passive and active mode indirect solar dryers (PMISD and AMISD) while drying …

In constantly sunny regions of the world such as most African countries, due to the
availability of sunlight, metal roofs that are constantly exposed to the sun offer opportunities …

This work explores a new application of titanium nitride nanoparticles (TiN NPs) as efficient
photothermal materials in enhancing the greenhouse effect. We demonstrate that a simple …

A direct flow evacuated tube solar dryer (DF_ETSD), a novel drying system, was used for
drying pre-treated okra (Abelmoschus esculentus). The performance of DF_ETSD was …

The objective of this study is to investigate the drying kinetics of fruit and vegetable peel
biowaste using a sustainable technique as a key-pretreatment for its conversion into useful …

Reversible airflow fixed bed dryer (RAFBD) is an energy‐efficient, cost‐effective, and
dependable dryer for using renewable energy sources in parboiling mills. In this study, a …

In the present work, the drying characteristics of beetroot slabs, thermal and performance
characteristics were estimated and analyzed in passive (mode-A) and active (mode-B) …
