... in the distillation still is required to get maximum essential oil extraction efficiency. The energy dissemination at different parts of the newly design solar distillation system was estimated using mathematical modeling. The results of different experiments showed that the yield of essential oils from fresh...

... coefficient and activation energy were found consistent with those already existing in the literature. The mathematical model called “Midilli–Kucuk” was found to be the most appropriate to describe the drying curves of the three samples. The total energy consumption was also studied. It showed a downward...

...Masnaji R. Nukulwar; Vinod B. Tungikar The objective of this study is to find an optimized thin-layer mathematical model suitable for drying kinetics of turmeric. Turmeric has a high moisture content which necessitates effective drying. A 10 kg, sample batch, of turmeric was dried in a solar dryer...
