Drying behaviour of lemon balm leaves in an indirect double-pass packed bed forced convection solar dryer system

The thin-layer drying behaviour of lemon balm leaves in an indirect-mode solar dryer with forced convection was investigated. The solar air heater employed a novel counter flow double-pass packed-bed wire mesh layer configuration to enhance the energy gain of the heated air. The thermal performance...
