Özet
This study aims to increase energy efficiency by integrating renewable energy sources into agricultural drying processes. In the experiments carried out in Tokat climatic conditions, apple samples sliced with a thickness of 10 mm were used, and a total of 1573 data points were obtained with environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, air velocity, and radiation. According to the experimental results, energy efficiency reached 7-33.4%, exergy efficiency 4-7.4%, and drying efficiency 61.5%. Using these data, machine learning models were created with MLP, SVM, and M5P algorithms; the SVM algorithm provided the highest accuracy in exergy efficiency estimation with 0.0013 MAE and 0.0035 RMSE error rates. This study delivers a robust multivariate artificial intelligence modeling framework backed by actual experimental data, significantly advancing sustainable agricultural practices. It introduces a …
