Design, Build, and Analyze: A Comprehensive Approach to Developing a Thermal Dehydrator Prototype

Fruit and vegetable preservation commonly relies on drying methods, and dehydrators play a pivotal role in enhancing traditional sun-drying processes. This report delves into the intricate calculation and analysis of a specific household electric dehydrator model with a 5kg capacity. Employing a meticulously chosen 5 kg sample of grapes with an initial 80% w.b(wet basis). moisture content, the dehydrator was analysed at temperatures of 45, 50, and 60 degrees Celsius.
