Development of a mathematical procedure for controlling air flow rate in tea withering

A control system was developed for optimizing the electrical energy consumption while preserving the required quality of withered tea leaves. The electrical energy saving was achieved by controlling the speed of the fan through a variable speed drive (VSD) and controlling the hot and ambient air del...
