Energy and exergy analyses of drying of apricots in a rotary solar dryer
This paper presents the energy and exergy analyses of the drying process of apricots in a rotary column cylindrical drying (RCCD) cabinet. For these purposes, all stages of the drying process, considered as a steady-flow thermodynamic system, were analysed. Using the first law of thermodynamics, energy analysis was carried out to estimate the amounts of energy gained from solar air collectors and ...
