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 …

The infrared radiative and convective drying of onion slices have been studied at different
operating parameters of drying using mathematical models. Experiments were conducted …

To design efficient infrared (IR) dryers for rough rice, it is important to understand the drying
behavior of rough rice under IR heating. The objective of this study was to determine the …

Four mathematical models for use in describing the thin-layer infrared drying characteristics
of rough rice were investigated. The models considered were the exponential model, Page …

The objectives of this study were to analyze the effects of drying employing three different
heat sources on drying kinetics and to evaluate qualities of parboiled rice after drying …

Drying experiments of onion slices (6mm thickness) were carried out by using infrared
convective drying. Infrared convective drying of onion slices was observed to be a falling …

In this study thin layer drying of tomato slices were investigated in the infrared dryer. Drying
rate increased with increasing temperature and reduction thickness and thus reduced the …

Air-drying characteristics of okra were investigated in a laboratory scale hot-air dryer for a
temperature range 50–70° C, and a relative humidity range 8–25%. Results indicated that …

The main objective of the present work was to study the drying kinetics and obtain the
optimum process parameters of cantaloupe slices using short-and medium-wave infrared …

An infrared dryer was developed and infrared radiation thin layer drying of onion slices was
carried out at infrared power levels of 300, 400 and 500W, air temperatures of 35, 40 and …
