It is a project thesis for MSc in Mechanical Engineering.
It should involve literature review, design, construction and carrying out experiments. also result of the experiment be analysed using statistical tools.
DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOTYPE DRYER USING BIOGAS FIRED SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Drying is an indispensable process in many food industries and in many agricultural countries, the large quantities of food products are dried to improve shelf life, reduce packaging cost, lower shipping weights, enhance appearance, encapsulate original flavour and maintain nutritional value (Chou and Chua 2001). The primary objective of drying is to remove moisture from the food so that bacteria, yeast and mold cannot grow and spoil the food. The economic consideration, environmental concerns and product quality aspects are the main three fold goal of drying process research in food industry (Okos et al. 1992). The big market for dehydrated fruits and vegetables increases importance of drying for most of the countries worldwide (Funebo and Ohlsson1998).
