Comparison of a gas fired hot-air dryer with an electrically heated hot-air dryer in terms of drying process, energy consumption and quality of dried onion slices
Gikuru, Mwithiga; EL-Mesery, Hany S. (Academic Journals, 2012-08-14)Onion slices were dried in either a gas-fired hot air dryer or an electrically heated hot air dryer at air temperatures of 50, 60 or 70°C, and at air flow velocities of 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 m/s. Records of the drying rates and ... -
Specific Energy Consumption of Onion Slices During Hot-air Convection, Infrared Radiation and Combined Infrared-Convection Drying
Gikuru, Mwithiga; EL-Mesery, Hany S. (AENSI Journals, 2014)Total energy requirement and specific energy consumption for drying of onion slices were evaluated using various drying methods including hot-air convection, infrared radiation and hot air convection-infrared combination ...
