“…Ahmed and Mirani (2012) presented low cost mobile flat-bed dryer for drying groundnuts in which the moisture content was maintained up to 14%. Mennouche et al (2014Mennouche et al ( , 2015 proposed the solar indirect and direct dryers for the drying of peanuts. The yield was observed to be increased up to 42.87%.…”

In this work, an attempt is made to study the effect of mass on convective heat transfer coefficient (CHTC) for open sun drying (OSD) of groundnut ( L.). Experiments were conducted during the month of May, 2016 in the climatic condition of Rohtak, India (28°54'0″N 76°34'0″E). Groundnut samples of 130 and 198 g were dried under OSD condition till almost no variation in its mass was recorded. Hourly data of the mass evaporated, groundnut temperature, relative humidity and ambient temperature were recorded. The experimental data obtained were used to determine the constants 'C' and 'n' in the Nusselt number expression using linear regression method. CHTC increased with the increase in mass of groundnuts. The experimental errors in terms of percent uncertainty were found to vary from 44.29 to 48.77%.

“…In 2015, Mennouche et al conducted an experimental study on peanut drying using an indirect type of Solar dryer in Ouargla, Algeria. They observed that it took 3 days to dry a 259.21 g of peanut sample with a moisture content of 34.15% to 8.31% at a drying air temperature of 20°C–46°C with a change in the relative humidity of 8.03% to 35.82%, and an air velocity of 0 to 1.68 m/s inside the dryer (Mennouche et al, 2015). The yield of oil in dried peanuts was higher than that of fresh peanuts.…”

The ancient method of solar drying remains an essential food safety and preservation technique, where solar irradiation acts as a source of thermal energy for drying the produce. Drying is a phenomenon in which excess water is removed from the agricultural produce to enhance shelf life and prevent it from degradation. Moisture is removed in the form of water vapor by thermal vaporization while the temperature remains below the boiling point of water. Removal of water significantly inhibits microbial growth, slows down enzymatic growth, and reduces many degradation reactions. Moreover, solar drying has other advantages namely, no need for a costlier cooling system for preservation, thereby minimizing the energy and equipment cost. The main objective of drying is to reduce drying
