Thin-layer solar drying experiments were conducted at Matsuyama, Japan, with medium
grain rough rice. The range of average drying air temperature was 22.3–34.9° C, and the …

This paper presents a comparison of optimized mixed-mode and indirect-mode natural
convection solar dryers for maize. The mixed-mode and indirect-mode solar drying …

A mathematical model to simulate the indirect natural convection solar drying of rough rice is
presented. The temperatures along the collector are described by a numerical solution. The …

An indirect type natural convection locally made solar dryer, consisting of a flat-plate solar
air heater connected to a drying chamber, has been investigated experimentally and …

The solar dryer described in this paper can be used for drying various products at home
under hygienic conditions with the self guarantee of adulteration free product. This solar …

A domestic solar dryer with transparent external surfaces was designed, built and tested.
Thin-layer drying models that describe the drying phenomena in a unified way, regardless of …

A mathematical model for mixed mode natural convection solar drying of maize grain is
presented. The drying is described by a deep bed procedure that includes conduction within …

ABSTRACT A mathematical model was developed for a concentrative flat plate solar
collector coupled with an indirect multirack type hybrid dryer. The model was physically …

In the Lake regions of Tanzania sun drying of sweet potatoes is normally done on thatched
roofs after peeling and slicing the sweet potato tubers into chips. Future use of alternative …

Muitas frutas e vegetais contém mais que 80% de água e são altamente perecíveis. Devido
ao alto índice de perdas pós-colheita, é muito grande a necessidade de se estudar formas …
