3.3. Drying kinetics of OC-OMW mixture<br />

A typical pattern of the first and second step of drying of OC-OMW mixture outdoor<br />

and in the greenhouse is shown in figures 3 and 4. The data shown are for an OC-OMW<br />

loading of 10 kg.m -2 . Solar radiation varied from 5 to 10 W.m -2 during the drying period.<br />

first drying and (b) second drying of OC-OMW mixture in Rabat-Morocco during February<br />

2008.<br />

The evolution of the temperature in the greenhouse was as expected from what is<br />

published in the literature for such systems (Ivanova and Andonov, 2001; Jain and Tiwari,<br />

2004; Kooli et al., 2007; Janjai et al., 2009). It was significantly different from the outdoor<br />

temperature during the day time and part of the night (9:00 am to 11:00 pm) but identical to<br />

the outdoor temperature after 11:00 pm and up to 9:00 am (Fig. 3). In average, the air in the<br />

dryer was at 16°C higher than outside during the first period. This difference reached a peak<br />

at noon when the air temperature inside the greenhouse became higher than or equal to 50°C,<br />

a condition which was maintained for 3 hours (12:00 am to 3:00 pm). At this temperature the<br />
