Exergy assessment of infrared assisted air impingement dryer using response surface methodology, Back Propagation-Artificial Neural Network, and multi-objective genetic algorithm

This study deals with the exergy analysis of the thin-layer drying process of apple fruit via an infrared-assisted air impingement dryer. In the study, process conditions, namely, drying temperature (50–70 °C), slice thickness (2–6 mm), and recirculation ratio (10–90 %) were considered as independen...
