Abstract of Ph. D. Thesis:
DESIGN AND CHARACTERISTICS OF INDUSTRIAL DRYING SYSTEMS
In order to benefit from the free and renewable energy source provided by the sun several attempts have been made in recent years to develop solar drying for preserving agricultural and marine products. Most solar dryers developed are designed for specific products or class of products. Selection of a solar dryer for a particular food product is determined by the quality requirements, product characteristics and economic factors. Testing a dryer is necessary to evaluate its technical performance and thus provides a basis to compare it with other dryers which helps in improving the dryer designs and its selection, since it also enables predicting the performance of a dryer under conditions which are different from test conditions. This study presents the analysis of the parameters generally considered for the evaluation of solar food dryers namely the efficiency of collector, the cabinet dryer and the heat and mass transfer coefficients for the forced convection mode of drying for the agricultural materials
