The current study focuses on the life cycle assessment and an economic valuation of a natural convection solar greenhouse dryer in Western Maharashtra, India. Solar Greenhouse Dryer is active device that gains radiation incident to surface along with wind energy, it removes moisture from agricultural yield. combination energy primarily used rural settings; hence, very important analyse environm...

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the performance of a novel indirect type free convection solar dryer. The and conventional passive dryer were built. Solar irradiation temperature different locations recorded. air at drying chamber entrance, lower space, upper space temperatures besides thermal efficiency 68, 39, 49 85%, respectively, higher than one.

Abstract Providing sufficient potable water using solar energy is a promising method; however, existence of legionella bacteria, causing pneumonia prevalent in the systems operating at low temperature range, such as stills. This work first report applying antibacterial property hybrid nanofluid for disinfection, and its magnetic increasing heat transfer rate, simultaneously. In this research, p...

drying of agricultural products is a sophisticated process with high energy consumption. energy needed for sustainable development, is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity. the performance of a heat recovery assisted solar dryer was evaluated in this study. drying time, collector efficiency, energy consumption, solar fraction and energy recovery fraction were investigated at different ...

The increase in global energy demand has directed researchers towards making low-quality coals into an environmentally friendly source by reducing their high moisture content. Drying coal is a high-energy and time-consuming process, so the required drying time crucial for technology. Coal increases thermal value of makes it easier to transport. In this study, system was designed using waste hea...

Animal and poultry manures have been recognized for centuries as organic fertilizers providing essential nutrients to crops and improving soil structure due to their large input of organic matter. Increasing demand for poultry and egg products has led to intensification of the poultry rearing process, resulting in large amounts of poultry manure. Drying can be used to reduce the environmental i...
