In this study, energy and exergy analysis (EEA) was performed during drying of okra
(Abelmoschus esculentus) in an indirect solar dryer (ISD) under forced and natural …

The energy, exergy and economic analysis of indirect type solar dryer (ITSD) was performed
while drying green chilli under forced and natural convection. Fans powered by PV panels …

Solar energy as a clean energy source is widely investigated to find out the effective
mechanisms to meet a large part of energy demand in the near future. In the present …

The application of solar energy in food drying is a well-known technology. Open sun drying
has some limitations but these limitations can be overcome in solar dryers. Thermal energy …

In the current paper, different thermal energy storage unit-integrated photovoltaic thermal
(PVT) air collectors with and without nanoparticles have been designed, fabricated and …

In this study, the impact of combined usage of infrared heater and nano-improved absorber
coating in the triple-flow solar dryer (TFSD) has been analyzed. In the first stage of the study …

Due to the rapid increase in the global demand for renewable energy and uneven, seasonal
distribution of bulky biomass resources, developing decentralized and mobile biomass …
