The objective of the research is to present, the numerical simulation modelling of cocoa
bean dryer in natural, forced and combined forced and natural convection to predict their …

The main objective of this paper is to develop a computational model and to simulate the
drying of timber with a solar dryer. Two sets of equations have been established: one for the …

This work aims to study and characterize the drying kinetics, the heat mass transfer
coefficients, the densities, the thermal effusivities, the thermal diffusivities and Young's …

In this work, an indirect solar dryer for drying cassava root chips was modelled and
experimentally validated using the environmental conditions of Yaoundé in Cameroon and …

The aim of this study was to determine moisture desorption isotherms and some
thermodynamic properties of two dense tropical woods from Cameroon: Tali (Erythrophleum …

This paper aimed at determining the quantity, nature and role of extracts during the sorption
behavior of two Central African hardwood species: Nauclea diderrichii (Bilinga) and …

In the building sector, the improvement of the heat and mass insulation of the walls can
reduce the values of the global energy demand and the CO 2 emission. A coupled one …

A one-year numerical simulation of a solar wood dryer with glazed walls in a Moroccan
climate was developed. This simulation was used to predict detailed and temporal …

Equilibrium moisture content (EMC), net isosteric heat of sorption (NIHS), net entropy of
sorption (NES) and standard free energy of Gibbs (SFEG) of Triplochiton scleroxylon …

This study aims to determine the sorption isotherms of three tropical woods from Cameroon
to understand the conditions for their use and drying. The equilibrium moisture contents …
