Crystal guava (Psidium guajava) is a commodity that is widely cultivated in Kebumen.
Innovation is needed to increase its selling value, one of which is by producing dried guava …

In the present study, an indirect solar dryer (ISD) was analyzed without thermal energy
storage (TES) device (case-1) and with a TES device (case-2) during drying guava slices to …

The forced convection indirect solar dryer (FISD) provides better quality food products for
lower duration than open sun drying (OSD). The drying experiments on guava slices were …

This work aims to improve an indirect solar dryer by adding a biomass energy source with a
storage system. A Hybrid Biomass-Indirect Solar Dryer (HBISD) was designed and made …

ABSTRACT A solar cassava dryer with subsidiary heating source has been designed,
constructed and tested. The performance was evaluated as follows: using a load of 60kg, the …

The performance of the dryer, thermal properties and the drying kinetics of guava were
evaluated in natural convection indirect solar dryer (NCISD) and forced convection ISD …
