Overview

This analysis finds that a mixed solar dryer efficiently reduces water content in agricultural products, revealing high performance in Burkina Faso.

Key Points

  • The mixed solar dryer achieved temperatures between 80°C and 100°C, significantly enhancing drying efficiency.
  • An effective diffusion coefficient of approximately 1.89 x 10^-7 m²/s was calculated, indicating effective moisture removal from the products.
  • The dryer demonstrated an efficiency of 28.56%, showcasing its potential in preserving high-water-content agri-food products.
  • Hygrothermal parameters like air temperature and relative humidity were closely monitored to assess dryer performance.
