Effect of Tilapia nilotica Quantity on Appropriate Drying Conditions

In this research was to develop mathematical model of Tilapia nilotica drying by using forced convection solar dryer and validated with the experimental. Subsequently, this mathematical model was utilized as tool in the optimization program to study the effect ofT. nilotica quantity on appropriate drying conditions. Qualities of  T. nilotica were varied from 1-5 kg. The objective function to search for appropriate drying conditions was the minimum specific energy consumption, which was subjected to four major constrains were drying temperature, air flow rate, recycle air ratio, and drying time. The appropriate drying conditions were sought using the grid search method. The study results showed that the simulation results were in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. Additionally, the increase of T. niloticaquantity causes an increase of air flow rate and a decrease of specific energy consumption.
