Abstract
Cardamom drying (curing) is an important energy-consuming process. Existing curing chambers in India have many flaws, the major one being a very low thermal efficiency resulting in a huge waste of firewood.
In the present paper, a mathematical model has been developed to study the heat transfer characteristics of conventional curing chambers. The conventional heat exchanger has been found to be the major cause for their low efficiencies. Based on the model, ways of improving the thermal efficiency of cardamom curing chambers are suggested.
