| Gaia: | This work assesses the drying time correlation of anchovy fish in a hybrid
infrared-convective dryer. The correlation of drying time was determined
using the regression method. Moreover, the influence of drying mode on
drying time was analyzed via the Taguchi approach. The effects of 0.4-0.8
kW infrared power, 0.5-1.5 m/s air velocity, and 50-70oC air temperature
were considered. The maximum error of the value predicted using the
drying time correlation and the experimental data was 2.7%. Analysis of the
influence of input variables on drying time, performed according to the
smaller-the-better criterion, showed an infrared power influence of
79.85%, air temperature influence of 19.30%, and air velocity influence of
0.85%. This result is a good orientation when setting up a drying mode in a
hybrid dryer. Furthermore, the Taguchi approach fully visualizes the effects
of the input variables on the drying time, which is an effective strategy for
the present study. |
