TL;DR: A new hybrid solar-biomass dryer is presented and thermal analysis based on energy and exergo-sustainability analysis considering all the available exergy stream of solar radiation, air stream through the collector, and exergy of the moisture in the product is carried out.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a low-cost wind-powered active solar dryer integrated with glycerol as thermal storage
TL;DR: In this article, an active mix-mode wind-powered fan solar dryer (AWPFS) with a passive mixmode non-wind-powered solar dryers (PNWPS) was evaluated with pre-treated potato slices.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of the system was investigated with test parameters including: power consumption, thermal conductivity and viscosity at the suction and discharge end of the compressor, and the evaporator air temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat and mass transfer parameters in the drying of cocoyam slice
TL;DR: In this paper, heat and mass transfer parameters (HMTPs) of three varieties of cocoyam slice and their vitamin B retention level in convective drying were investigated. And the results obtained show that the mass transfer coefficient for the three varieties lies between 1.01044×10−6 and 3.44876×10 −6, while the heat transfer coefficient ranged from 1.17973 to 3.58284
