This simulator is planned to educate people living near the geothermal resources or power plants about the direct use of geothermal energy, especially in coffe drying. The maximum capacity of this simulator is 5 kilogram of fresh coffee bean that is dried using hot air at 45°C and mass flow rate of 0,23 kg/s. The duration of drying is about 3000 seconds which should be adequate to represent the drying process. The heat exchanger proposed for this thesis is a compact heat exchanger with staggered pipe arangement. The total number of pipes is 10 pipes at 36 cm in length and 65 flat plate alluminium fins measured at 0,6m x 0,16m x 0,005m. The fin efficiency value and the overall surface efficiency value are 72% and 73% respectively.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Coffee beans,Compact heat exchanger,Drying process,Fin efficiency,Geothermal resources,Mass flow rate,Thermal designs,Whole process[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/254/1/012019[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
