Effects of Solar Radiation, Buoyancy of Air Flow and Optimization Study of Coffee Drying in a Heat Recovery Dryer

Show other versions (1)

A solar heat recovery dryer for drying coffee beans was designed and tested based on heat recovery through condensation. A mathematical model of the dryer was built based on heat and mass transfer, fluid flow and boundary analysis. Experimental data from the first run was used to estimate two critic...
