The potential of climate-resilient energy practices depends on the integration of sustainable
energy with energy storage, such as solar energy. Solar energy offers desirable thermal …

The drying of fruits and vegetables is a complex operation that demands much energy and
time. In practice, the drying of fruits and vegetables increases product shelf‐life and reduces …

In recent years, many infrared (IR) and IR‐assisted drying methods such as IR‐hot air, IR‐
vacuum, IR‐microwave, and vibration aided IR‐dryer have been reported for drying of food …

The overuse of fossil fuels in real life applications has caused their rapid depletion and fast
climate change due to global warming and thus access to eco-friendly energy resources has …

Thin layer drying characteristics and physicochemical properties of hawthorn fruit
(Crataegus spp.) were investigated using a convective dryer at air temperatures 50, 60 and …

Performances of a mixed mode forced convection solar dryer integrated with paraffin wax
based thermal energy storage have been studied for drying the sliced black turmeric …

Drying is a complicated process with simultaneous heat and mass transfer, and food drying
is especially very complex because of the differential structure of products. In practice, a food …

Solar energy is a widely used green energy resource that is used for drying processes.
Through this assessment, the performance of an Indirect Solar Dryer (ISD) with three …

The thin layer drying behaviour of eggplants in a laboratory dryer was examined. Drying
characteristics of eggplants were determined using heated ambient air at temperatures from …

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 …
