Abstract Mathematical modeling of thin-layer solar drying of eland jerky was investigated in this study. Eland jerky was compared to traditional beef jerky, inasmuch as both were treated with traditional jerky marinade (TM), traditional marinade with honey (TMH) and compared to an untreated control (C). The influence of the marinades on the drying process was statistically significant. Based on the coefficients of determination, the root mean square errors and the chi-squares, the two-term model was found to be the most suitable model for describing the solar drying kinetics of eland jerky. The mean effective moisture diffusivities of solar dried eland meat for the C, TM and TMH samples were 2.07×10−10, 1.45×10−10 and 1.43×10−10 m2.s−1, respectively. The activation energy values for solar dried eland jerky were 23.75, 26.22 and 26.97 kJ mol−1 for C, TM and TMH, respectively.

This paper aims to investigate the effect of climate conditions such as ambient temperature, humidity, pressure, sun radiation and pollution on sliced apples quality and drying time which are dried in an indirect forced cabinet solar drying (IFCSD) and open sun drying (OSD) systems. Both experiments were implemented at same place (Kabul, Afghanistan) and time. The IFCSD yield for saving time is 42.8 % which is more effective than drying in the OSD system. Simultaneously with the decreasing of sliced apple weight from 512.9 g down to 73.9 g, the water activity decreased from 0.955 down to 0.355 in the IFCSD system. For OSD system, the sample weight decreased from 512.6 g down to 78.4 g and its water activity from 0.955 down to 0.411. On the experiment day the average sun radiation was 571 w/m2 . The pressure drop between inlet and outlet of the dryer was 0.1 kPa. Different thin-layer mathematical models were investigated to identify the best model fitting the experimental data. The mathematical models’ performances were investigated by comparing the coefficient of determination (R 2 ), reduced chi-square (X2 ) and root mean square error (RMSE) coefficients. From all 11 applied thin-layer drying models the Page, Approximation diffusion, Verma et al and Midilli and Kacuk models are more fitted to our data.

The aim of this work is to develop thermal modeling of the olive mill wastewater drying process in a greenhouse solar dryer. A configuration was thus proposed and simulated using the commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics in order to solve the conservation equations governing our problem. The resulting simulations are used to evaluate the temperature, velocity, and vapor mass fraction distributions after hours of sunshine and to provide a quantification of the drying process. The influence of the greenhouse effect on the drying kinetics is highlighted by comparing to open sun-drying results. The effect of some greenhouse geometric characteristics and external meteorological conditions are studied.
