| The influences of the air temperature (40, 50, and 60 °C), air velocity (3, 5, and 7 m/s), sample size (0.5, 1.0 and 1.3 cm) on thermodynamic performance of a fluidized-bed dryer were studied in the drying of eggplant cubes (Solanum melongena L.). New samples of the eggplant were sliced into cubes and dried in the controlled laboratory conditions. The first and the second law of thermodynamics were used in calculating energy utilization, energy utilization ratio, exergy loss, and exergy efficiency. Findings showed that the utilization of energy and exergy loss rose with the higher drying temperatures and air velocities and reduced with the increased sample size. The results showed the highest exergy efficiency (0.72) at 60 °C, 5 m/s and a sample size of 1.3 cm, while the lowest efficiency (0.017) at 40 °C, 3 m/s and 0.5 cm sample size. The highest energy utilization (3.64 kJ/s) was achieved at 60 °C, 7 m/s, and 0.5 cm, while the lowest (1.08 kJ/s) was observed at 40 °C, 3 m/s, and 1.3 cm. An artificial neural network (ANN) model was created to forecast the energy and exergy variables and the trained model showed good consistency with the experimental data (R2 > 0.99), which supports its effectiveness in prediction of thermodynamics. Finally, higher air temperature and velocity increased the drying performance but decreased the exergy efficiency, especially with smaller samples. ANN modelling provides a significant instrument of maximizing energy and exergy behavior in fluidized-bed dryers utilized in the food industry. | ||
