Research ArticleOpen accessDrying Characteristics of the Borneo Canarium odontophyllum (Dabai) FruitDayang Fredalina Basri, Ahmad Fudholi, Mohd Hafidz RuslanThe quality and shelf-life of an underutilized fruits are compromised by the conventional method of drying. We therefore proposed using hot-air chamber to develop the drying curves of Canarium odontophyllum (dabai) fruit. Present study provides evidence of the best mathematical model to demonstrate the drying characteristics of this indigenous fruit and thus, may generate or add to the existing database. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 5 Sep 2012 · 8,946 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAnalytical and Experimental Studies on the Thermal Efficiency of the Double-Pass Solar Air Collector with Finned AbsorberAhmad Fudholi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Hafidz Ruslan et al.Problem statement: The design of suitable air collectors is one of the most important factors controlling the economics of the solar drying. Air type collectors have two inherent disadvantages: Low thermal capacity of air and low absorber to air heat transfer coefficient. Different modifications are suggested and applied to improve the heat transfer coefficient between the absorber plate and air. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,415 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessThermal Efficiency of Double Pass Solar Collector with Longitudinal Fins AbsorbersAhmad Fudholi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Hafidz Ruslan et al.Problem statement: One of the most important components of a solar energy system is the solar collector. The performances of double-pass solar collector with longitudinal fins absorbers are analyzed. Approach: The study involves a theoretical study to investigate the effect of mass flow rate, number and height of fins on efficiency, which involves steady-state energy balance equations on the longitudinal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 8,066 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessHybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) Air and Water Based Solar Collectors Suitable for Building Integrated ApplicationsAdnan Ibrahim, Goh Li Jin, Roonak Daghigh et al.Problem statement: Experiments have been conducted to investigate the effect of mass flow rates on the electrical, thermal and combined of photovoltaic thermal efficiencies of the hybrid collectors. Approach: Two photovoltaic thermal solar collectors were designed and fabricated. The first collector, known as spiral flow absorber collector, designed to generate hot water and electricity. The second collector, known as single … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,091 accessesView PDF Cite
