Drying Characteristics, Kinetic Modeling, Energy and Exergy Analyses of Water Yam (<i>Dioscorea alata</i>) in a Hot Air Dryer

In this study, drying characteristics, kinetic modelling, energy and exergy analyses of a convective hot air dryer are presented for water yam. The drying experiments were carried out at temperature levels of 50, 60, and 70°C and slice thicknesses of 3, 6, and 9 mm. The effects of drying variables o...
