Mathematical and intelligent modeling of stevia (Stevia Rebaudiana) leaves drying in an infrared‐assisted continuous hybrid solar dryer

Abstract Drying characteristics of stevia leaves were investigated in an infrared (IR)‐assisted continuous‐flow hybrid solar dryer. Drying experiments were conducted at the inlet air temperatures of 30, 40, and 50°C, air inlet velocities of 7, 8, and 9 m/s, and IR lamp input powers of 0, 150, and 30...
