    Abstract: The design of a solar drier requires detailed information about drying kinetics of the products to be dried. The objective of our work is to characterize drying kinetics of tomato, okra, potato and mango and calculate the main drying parameters namely the drying rate, the moisture ratio and the effective diffusivity from the derivative form of the ...
