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 …

Drying is a complicated process with simultaneous heat and mass transfer, and food drying
is especially very complex because of the differential structure of products. In practice, a food …

Water is considered ubiquitous within the shale reservoirs and mainly stored in the
hydrophilic clay minerals. The water distribution characteristics and its effect on pore …

The effect of three different drying methods (hot-air, combined hot-air-microwave, and
vacuum-freeze) on the sensorial, textural, nutritional, and other quality characteristics of …

Solar energy is a widely used green energy resource that is used for drying processes.
Through this assessment, the performance of an Indirect Solar Dryer (ISD) with three …

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 …

Okra (Hibiscus esculentus L.) was dried using an infrared drier at radiation intensities of
0.167, 0.235, and 0.520 W/cm 2 and air velocities of 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 m/s to determine its …

This article provides an extensive review on design, thermal modelling approaches, and
economic, energy and environmental aspects of solar greenhouse dryers developed for …

Solar drying experiments in thin layers of apricots grown in Elazığ, Turkey, were conducted.
An indirect forced convection solar dryer consisting of a solar air heater with conical …

Drying operations can help in reducing the moisture content of food materials for avoidance
of microbial growth and deterioration, for shelf life elongation, to minimize packaging and …
