Abstract :Microwave drying stands out because it is faster than traditional drying methods, drying in the product is more uniform and energy efficiency. In this study, fuzzy modeling of a microwave dryer was developed. Microwave dryer is considered as a non-linear dryer. The proposed fuzzy model is used to estimate the drying rate for different electrical powers and different drying times. Different experimental measurements were used to evaluate the reliability of this model. Compared to other modeling techniques, thanks to simulation, the fuzzy model of the dryer provides an immediate estimation of the drying rate. This study will provide drying rates under demanded conditions and help determining machine parameters for a given product providing time and energy saving.The behavior predicted by the fuzzy model confirms the suitability of the defined model.
