ANN-based Approach to Model MC/DR of Some Fruits under Solar Drying [PDF]

Kemija u Industriji, 2021
The aim of this work was to model the moisture content (MC) and drying rate (DR) using artificial neural network (ANN) methodology. Many architectures have been tested and the best topology was selected based on a trial and error method.
