The drying curves obtained were z-shape with very little drop in moisture content during the initial 4 hours of drying followed by a straight line constant drying curve and ended with very little drop in moisture content towards the last few hours of drying. With the kerosene burner set to give a hot air temperature of 85°C, the drying duration was about 20 hours and the overall thermal efficiency was about 33%. On the other hand, with the kerosene burner set to give a hot air temperature of 70°C, the drying duration was 24 hours and the overall thermal efficiency was about 46%. The average drying cost per kg of water removed for the two drying air temperatures was RM0.46 and RM0.44 respectively. 2011-08-17T15:27:02Z 2011-08-17T15:27:02Z 2006-12 Article The Journal of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, vol. 67(4), 2006, pages 17-21 0126-513X http://myiem.org.my/content/iem_journal_2006-177.aspx http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/13564 en The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia
