YING OF PARSLEY LEAVES IN A SOLAR DRYER AND UNDER OPEN SUN: MODELING, ENERGY AND EXERGY ASPECTS (pages 27–48)

摘要

Drying is widely used in a variety of thermal energy applications rangingnfrom food drying to wood drying. Drying can either be done by traditional sunndrying or industrially, through the use of solar dryers or hot-air drying. Thensolar dryers could be an alternative to the hot-air drying and open sun dryingnmethods, especially in locations with good sunshine during the harvest season.nThis study is useful not only for producers of dry parsley, but also for allnCorresponding author.
