Overview

This evaluation demonstrates effective moisture removal in tomato drying using a solar dryer, indicating its efficiency.

Key Points

  • An average evaporation rate of 3.84 g/hr facilitated moisture removal from tomato slices over six days.
  • The maximum drying chamber temperature reached 68 °C, highlighting the system's efficient thermal performance.
  • A new hybrid solar dryer was designed incorporating photovoltaic panels and a forced convection system.
  • Findings aligned with the Lewis model, confirming the accuracy of the experimental data obtained.
