Abstract
A simulation study has been made for determination of the convective heat transfer coefficients of eight agricultural products, namely, mulberry, strawberry, apple, garlic, potato, pumpkin, eggplant and onion under forced convection drying. Data obtained from experimentation under open simulated condition have been used to determine values of the coefficients C and n and, consequently, convective heat transfer coefficient. The values of convective heat transfer coefficient determined 2.007 W/m 2 °C for mulberry, 3.615 W/m 2 °C for strawberry, 2.874 W/m 2 °C for apple, 0.644 W/m 2 °C for garlic, 4.897 W/m 2 °C for potato, 3.530 W/m 2 °C for pumpkin, 4.026 W/m 2 °C for eggplant and 7.121 W/m 2 °C for onion. The experimental error in terms of percent uncertainty was also calculated
