Solar drying, an energy-saving process, is an efficient food conservation solution for countries that often have only sun as an energy source. Decreased energy requirements for a drying and improved dewatering process result from lower moisture fraction. This investigation focuses on the study of wa

The aim of this paper is to study the thermal behaviour of a solar air heater as a source of energy for drying agricultural products. The output temperature and velocity of the drying air were first evaluated, and a mathematical formulation of the physical process of solar drying based on convention

The management of residual sludge is an important subject. New environmental laws require the elimination of this waste by only two ways: incineration and agricultural use. In order to reach this goal, mechanical dewatering can be used as a first step due to its low energy cost. However, the final m
