Optimization Technique Used for Solar Dryers with Thermal Storage Using Taguchi Method
Krishna Kant Kanaujia, Sanjay Gautam, Ravi Pratap Singh
Abstract: Solar energy is the largest renewable energy kind in the world. The current article contains the optimization approach used by the Taguchi method for solar dryers with thermal storage. Ginger (Zingiber officinalis, Roscoe, for example), has powerful anti - inflammatory properties including oleoresin. A lot of attention has been paid to Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) since it is inert, cheap, readily accessible, Oduor less and tasteless, favorable to the environment. Various experimental studies to decrease time consumption have been carried out and increase solar dryer output. Solar dryers are optimized to improve their functioning precision and to reduce the drying time and cost. Several methods may be utilized to get optimal outcomes to optimize the entire setup. Taguchi optimization technique has been applied for the solar dryer experimental research in dry gingers in the current work. The findings revealed the optimum setup for dry ginger consisting of air speed, air flow and humidity.
