A state-of-the-art solar crop dryer was developed with thermal energy storage to maintain
continuity of drying of herbs for their colour and flavour vulnerability. The dryer consists of flat …

In this study, an evaluation of energy and economic analysis of two different energy storage
systems for the drying process was presented. These systems were the packed bed …

In the present paper, groundnut samples were dried under natural convection greenhouse
drying (NCGHD), forced convection greenhouse drying (FCGHD), and indoor forced …

Peanut or groundnut is one of the major oilseed crops in the world. It is rich in oil and
proteins. Developing countries account for about 95% of the world peanut production. Asia …

Raising of rose nursery is quit difficult due to low temperature in winter season. Looking to
the importance and temperature requirement for nursery raising for proper growth in winter …

In this study, the convective and evaporative heat transfer coefficients of groundnut were
evaluated in a forced convection greenhouse drying (FCGHD) mode. The groundnuts were …
