Energy analyses and drying kinetics of chamomile leaves in microwave-convective dryer
Drying characteristics and energy aspects as well as mathematical modeling of thin layer drying kinetics of chamomile in a microwave-convective dryer are reported in this article. Drying experiments were carried out at 8 microwave power levels (200–900 W), air temperature of 50 °C, and air velocity...
