Özet
The green and the red apples were selected as drying materials in order to dry in a tray dryer for this study. Theywere washed with distilled water to wipe out all contaminants that can be affected negatively the results ofexperiment and they were chopped to the same dimensions. The length, width and thickness of each apple piecewere adjusted as 65 mm, 37 mm and 12 mm, respectively. The apple particles were weighed with precisionscales and they were grouped into 50 g, 100 g and 200 g. Then the particles were placed in the tray dryer foreach set of experiments. Thereafter, drying process was carried out at different weights of red and green appleparticles (mp), drying air velocity (U) and drying temperatures (Td). Herein, the moisture content (MC) isconsidered as the significant parameter in order to express the drying performance of drying materials.Moreover, energetic efficiency and normalized moisture content are compared with the empiric equation, whichis proposed for the drying systems. The experimental study is performed with the range of 50 g ? mp ? 200 g,18 % ? MC ? 614.29 %, 0.03 ? MR ? 1, 59 oC ? Td ? 99 oC and 0.992 m/s ? U ? 1.488 m/s. The result of thisstudy is that the red apple particles have better drying performance at same conditions due to its physicalproperties when compared to green apple particles
