Influence of Brining on the Drying Parameters of Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus)in a Glass-Covered Solar Tunnel Dryer
Kituu, G.M.; Shitanda, Douglas; Kanali, C.L.; Mailutha, J.T.; Njoroge, C.K.; Wainaina, J.K.; Ondote, P.M.O. (2009)The objective of this study was to determine the effect of brining on the drying rate of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a glass-covered solar tunnel dryer. Tilapia fish, eviscerated, and split into pieces ... -
Modeling Thin Layer Drying of Amaranth Seeds under Open Sun and Natural Convection Solar Tent Dryer
Ronoh, E.K.; Kanali, C.L.; Mailutha, J.T.; Shitanda, Douglas (2009)Thin layer drying studies of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus) seeds were carried out under open sun and natural convection solar tent dryer. The ambient temperature and relative humidity ranged from 22.6–30.4 ... -
Simulation model for solar energy harnessing by the solar tunnel dryer
Kituu, Gareth M; Shitanda, Douglas; Kanali, C.L.; Mailutha, J.T.; Njoroge, C.K.; Wainaina, J.K.; Bongyereire, J. S (2010)Models were developed to predict global solar radiation and the energy harnessed by a solar tunnel dryer, and simulated in Visual Basic 6. In addition, the simulated data were compared with actual data. Using a 10% absolute ...
