Solar drying remains for developing African countries the only economical means of preserving foodstuffs which post-harvest losses sometimes reach 60%.
 It was modeled in this work, different elements that constitute a solar system by natural convection. This model is described heat, mass and momentum balance equations between exchange media.
 The initially made it possible to describ...

In this paper, effects of EHD actuators on hydrodynamic behavior and heat transfer of air flow over a circular cylinder were considered. Pressure and temperature distributions around the cylinder were measured in presence of wire-plate EHD actuators. The Reynolds number based on cylinder diameter (d) were 3500, 7000. Experiments were performed for various configurations. Based on obtained resul...

Abstract The urbanised living in Malaysia is progressing toward having clothes dryers as essential household equipment. major problems with the commercially available dryer are high-power consumption and possible damage to environment. This study aims mitigate these issues an eco-friendly heat pump dryer. principle derived based on waste from condenser side of indoor air conditioner units. anal...

The calculation method commonly used in the industry takes into consideration mainly fuel consumption (excluding electricity) and amount of removed moisture which is reflected unit MJ·(Mg·%)−1. This not a scientific approach because result will change if basic different (drying from 21% to 18% consume less energy than drying 15%). paper aims compare two industrial continuous flow grain dryers p...
