Thermal Performance Study of Solar Air Dryers for Cashew Kernel: A Comparative Analysis and Modelling Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

International Journal of Photoenergy, 2022
In this study, a new procedure for drying of cashew kernels is proposed. The new methodology involves the use of solar air dryers to remove the dark sticky coating called testa on the surface of the cashew kernel to get the final product.

Investigation of the thermal efficiencies of a solar dryer

Energy Conversion and Management, 1995
Abstract This paper deals with the construction and performance of a solar powered drying system consisting of a solar air heater and a drying chamber. The thermal efficiencies of both the solar air heater and the drying section as a function of typical physical parameters and the experimental results for different food products at different air flow

Challenges and enablers in fluidization technology

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Gas–solid fluidized beds provide excellent heat and mass transfer for high‐throughput operations from coating to catalytic conversion and underpin emerging low‐carbon technologies. Yet industrial reliability, scale‐up, and control lag scientific understanding, particularly as finer, stickier, and more variable feedstocks increasingly challenge

NUMERICAL STUDY OF CORRUGATED SIERPINSKI CARPET ON SOLAR DRYER

Logic
Solar dryers have problems with low heat transfer performance and uneven temperature distribution, resulting in low efficiency. The efficiency of solar dryers depends on the design of the absorber plate, namely how much it can absorb solar heat.

Experimental testing of a new solar dryer

International Journal of Energy Research, 1994
Drying of agricultural products is an energy-intensive operation. High prices and shortages in fossil fuels increase the emphasis on using solar energy as an alternative energy source, especially in developing countries. In this respect, a new solar dryer, which consisted of a solar air heater and a drying chamber, was developed and used for drying ...

Solar Dryer with Pneumatic Conveyor

Energy Procedia, 2015
AbstractThe coventional flat bed dryer has the demerit of having nonhomogeneous drying results. Therefore, to obtain nonhomogeneous drying result recirculating type solar dryer with pneumatic conveyor as the recirculating equipment will be. As the grains transported within the penumatic conveyor rapid heat and mass transfer occur resulting in even ...
