Experimental Study on Eggplant Drying by an Indirect Solar Dryer and Open Sun Drying

In this article, an indirect forced convection solar dryer is used to study the kinetic of drying for eggplant. The effective moisture diffusivity calculated by slop method follows the solar intensity with the maximum value of 1.68E-09 at 15 PM. Performance of solar dryer is determined by defining...
