Abstract

Nowadays, industrial dryers are used instead of traditional methods for drying. When designing dryers suitable for controlling the process of drying and reaching a high-quality product, it is necessary to predict the gradual moisture loss during drying. Few studies have been conducted to compare thin-layer models and artificial neural network models on the kinetics of pistachio drying in a cabinet dryer. For this purpose, ten mathematical-experimental models with a neural network model based on the kinetic data of pistachio drying were studied. The data obtained was from a cabinet dryer evaluated at four temperatures of inlet air and different air velocities. The pistachio seeds were placed in a thin layer on an aluminum sheet on a drying tray and weighed by a scale attached to the computer at different times. In the neural network, data was divided into three parts: Educational (60%), validation (20%) and testing (20%). Finally, the best mathematical-experimental model using a genetic algorithm and the best neural network structure for predicting instantaneous moisture were selected based on the least squared error and the highest correlation coefficient.
