Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The drying rate increased with increase in temperature and air velocity but decreased with time. The dryer can remove an average of 4.66 kg of water per day at 55-81 °C and air velocity of 1.3 m/s while at 2.51 m/s it can remove an average of 5.3 kg of water per day under the same drying conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -It was found that drying time decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing thickness. Similarly, energy consumption decreased with decreasing temperature and thickness.
