... performance and dryer performance than other coating conditions. The peak air temperature, energy input, and average efficiency are about 66.5 °C, 359.7 W, and 69.7%, respectively. Furthermore, the red chilies show a better average drying rate, moisture ratio, and exergy efficiency of about 0.81 kg/h, 0.39...

...Kartik Srivastava; Rashmi Rekha Sahoo Multi-staging and variable cross section greatly improve the performance of thermoelectric generators. Hence, the present theoretical study analyzes a multi-stage-variable-shaped thermoelectric generator (MVS-TEG) for a combination of dissimilar materials...

...M. Sridharan; Shribalaji Shenbagaraj This study presents a smart neural network (NN) model for estimating the thermal performance of a transient nature solar flat plate collector system (SFPCS). For this purpose, a series of experimental studies are conducted through four successive days with three...

... in compression ignition (CI) engine resulted in inferior performance and emission behavior. This can be improved by modifying the straight vegetable oil into its esters, emulsion, and using them as a fuel in CI engine showcased an improved engine behavior. Waste cooking oil (WCO) is one such kind of vegetable...

... the fill hangs down into the air inlet region. This results in that the fill Merkel number or transfer characteristic for cross-counter flow is between that of purely counter- and crossflow fills. When using CFD to model natural draught wet-cooling tower performance for isotropic fill resistance, two...
