“…Industrial dryers are one of the most important equipment in the food processing industries. Most industrial dryers depend on electrical energy and energy from fossil fuel as a source of heat in drying operations (Iranmanesh et al, 2020;Pardhi & Bhagoria, 2013). Fossil fuel operated dryer is a costly method of operation.…”

This study was conducted to determine the technical performance of a rice hull-fueled cabinet food dryer. Data gathered from the drying performance in terms of drying behavior, drying rate, and dryer heat utilization efficiency using cassava chips was analyzed through an experimental design. The study also evaluated fuel consumption, thermal conversion efficiency, energy use efficiency, heat utilization efficiency, temperature distribution and economic performance. Results indicated that the dryer's average fuel consumption and the thermal conversion efficiency is 11.19 kg/hr and 6.17%. While the energy use efficiency is 41.51%, and the dryer efficiency is 11.79 %. The moisture reduction of the rice hull-fueled dryer is 8.156 kg/hr, and the heat utilization efficiency is 41.51%. The break-even of using the dryer is ₱ 4.988/kg; if rented out at ₱ 59.86/hr, the payback period is 0.988 batch/hr.

“…Many mechanical dryers developed using agricultural wastes as a heat source to dry agricultural products and improve product storage life (Erbay & Hepbasli, 2017;Gatea, 2010;Iranmanesh et al, 2020). These dryers are used primarily to reduce the moisture content of a product.…”

“…Five empirical or semi-empirical models defined in Table 1 [21] [10] [2] and [12], are used to smooth the experimental curves of the reduced moisture over time to predict fish drying. This smoothing was performed using the Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear regression method on Origin pro 9 .1.…”

This work is part of a study for the conservation of fish products through solar drying. The grey seabream is dried after a pre-treatment of 16 hours in a salt brine under two conditions: on a rack in open air and in a solar dryer. The tests were carried out under average irradiance conditions of 592.76 W/m², an average ambient temperature of 30°C and an average air temperature in the dryer of 50°C. The results obtained, allowed us to reach a final humidity of 32% from an initial humidity of 65% in a wet basis. The drying was processed in 15 hours, (i.e. two days in the dryer) and 24 hours (i.e. three days in the open air). The modeling of the drying kinetics of the grey sea bream is carried out from empirical or semi-empirical models taken from the previous works. Several criteria were defined for the choice of the two-term model as being the one that can describe in the best way, the drying of the fish in both conditions. The effective diffusivity was determined using Ficks diffusive model whose solution is given by Crank, so that the logarithm of the reduced moisture allows us to find effective diffusivities for fish of 9.88823 10-7 (m²/s) and 1.72534 10-6 (m²/s) for open-air and in dryer drying respectively.
