The world is beginning to move away from its consumption of fossil fuels. Various technologies are being developed make use renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and tidal, etc. Solar the best choice among these because it readily available, abundant, capable producing both electric space heating. can be used directly or indirectly dry agricultural non-agricultural products preserve the...

Developing a sustainable photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) solar drying system is essential to maintain zero carbon emission in the process. This work represents of star fruit novel PVT dryer analyze sustainability indicators based on energy and exergy performance with environmental economic evaluation (4E) under forced convection (FCD) natural (NCD). The moisture content decreased from 10.11 (d b) 0....

Inulin has immense applications in health and nutrition as well as in food industries. Inulin is isolated from chicory roots by differential precipitation with ethanol (0-20, 20-40 and 40-60 per cent) from the aqueous extract of sun-dried roots, by melting the frozen chicory root extract and by removing the oligo-fructosachharides from chicory roots with 20 per cent ethanol. Different inulin pr...

Rice drying with infrared radiation has been investigated during recent years and showed promising potential with improved quality and energy efficiency. However, due to limited penetration capability of infrared radiation, thin layer drying may be used in infrared dryer design. The objective of this study was to study the moisture removal characteristics of thin layer rough rice heated by infr...

this study was carried out to evaluate the chemical compoition of alosa caspia and results compared with clupeonella engrauliformis which is a common fish catch among clupeonella and clupeidae spp in caspian sea . results showed that the amount of fat, protein, ash and dry matter in alosa was higher than clupeonella. the fatty acid composition showed that the epa was very high in alosa that sho...

Craterostigma wilmsii Engl. (homoiochlorophyllous) is a resurrection species that is thought to rely primarily on the protection of cellular components during drying to survive desiccation. The time taken for this protection to be instituted is thought to preclude recovery after rapid drying. Thus the response of C. wilmsii plants to rapid dehydration was investigated. The effect of rapid dryin...

This experiment viewed to evaluate the physiological quality of grain sorghum seeds as well as to determine the respective drying curve of each of three drying methods. The seeds harvested at 18.9%, 18.1%, and 18.2% of moisture content were submitted to the following drying methods : a) under natural conditions, b) an intermittent dryer in which the combustion of firewood was the source of calo...

The objective of this study was to reveal the usefulness image processing and machine learning for non-destructive evaluation changes in mint leaves caused by two natural drying techniques. effects shade open-air sun on ventral side (upper surface) dorsal (lower were compared. Texture parameters extracted from digital color images converted channels R, G, B, L, a, b, X, Y, Z. Models based featu...
