Exergy Analyses of Onion Drying by Convection: Influence of Dryer Parameters on Performance

Exergy Analyses of Onion Drying by Convection: Influence of Dryer Parameters on Performance

This research work is concerned in the exergy analysis of the continuous-convection drying of onion. The influence of temperature and air velocity was studied in terms of exergy parameters. The energy and exergy balances were carried out taking into account the onion drying chamber. Its behavior was...
