Energy and exergy analyses of thin-layer drying of sour pomegranate arils with microwave treatment were conducted in this research. Three levels of air temperature (50, 60 and 70 C) and air velocity (0.5, 1 and 1.5 m/s) were tested for evaluation of dryer parameters. Energy utilization and energy utilization ratio increased with time, while exergy efficiency decreased with time. Application of…
