in the present study, saffron was dried using a heat pump-assisted hybrid photovoltaic-thermal solar dryer. the effect of different drying air temperatures at three levels (40, 50, and 60oc) and two different modes of the dryer (with and without heat pump system) were investigated on drying behaviour of saffron. after collecting the pertinent data, eleven drying models were used to describe dry...

Despite the wide-spread applications of spray drying in production chemicals, food, and pharmaceuticals, accurate control development this unit remains an elusive task because complex interactions variables phenomena. In paper, we offer a computationally efficient closed-loop system with model predictive controller (MPC) where computational fluid dynamics (CFD) process is utilized to represent ...
