mathematical modeling of forced convection thin layer solar drying for cuminum cyminum

Experimental study and mathematical modeling of thin layer drying of rhubarb (Rheum ribes L.)

In this study rhubarb stem slices were dried as single layers with thickness of 3 mm in the inlet air temperature range of 50-70  and air velocity of 1 ± 0.2 m/s in a laboratory scale cabinet dryer. The effect of drying air temperature on the drying characteristics was determined and the relationship between the drying parameters with temperature and moisture content was examined. Moisture tran...

energy and exergy analyses of thin layer drying of tomato in a forced solar dryer

in this paper the energy and exergy analyses in chamber drying process of thin layer drying of tomato in a forced solar drying was investigated. the experiments were carried out with two thicknesses of 5 and 7 and two airflows 0.5 m.s-1 and 1 m.s-1. during the experimental process, ambient temperature was between 22 and 36 , air relative humidity between was 14 and 50, and solar radiation range...

modeling of thin layer drying of apricot

in this research the thin layer drying behavior of apricot (cv. ghavami and nasiry) at temperatures of drying air of 40, 50, 60 and 70 ºc and at drying air velocity of 2 ms-1 was studied. in order to select the best drying curve equation, 9 different thin layer drying models were fitted to the experimental data and were compared according to their coefficient of determination (r2), reduced chi-...

Mathematical Modelling of Thin Layer Drying Kinetics of Biodegradable Pellets

The deoiled rice bran, industrial waste (paddy husk, potato peels and banana peels) and plasticizers were added to develop pellets after extrusion for their further use in preparing molds (pots) for horticultural use. Pellets were prepared by extrusion technology using glycerol and cashew nut shell liquid as plasticizers and were dried in a chamber with constant air circulation (1.5 m/sec). Dry...

Mathematical Modeling of Thin-layer Drying Kinetics of Cape Gooseberry (physalis Peruviana L.)

Drying kinetics of Cape gooseberry was studied and modeled during processing at four temperatures (60, 70, 80 and 90C). Desorption isotherm was obtained at 40C giving a monolayer moisture content of 0.086 g water/g d.m. Experimental drying curves showed that drying process took place only in the falling rate period. Several thin-layer drying models available in the literature were evaluated bas...
