Article Processing Charges (APCs)
Thermal Science and Engineering is an Open Access Journal under EnPress Publisher. All articles published in Thermal Science and Engineering are accessible electronically from the journal website without commencing any kind of payment. In order to ensure contents are freely available and maintain publishing quality, Article Process Charges (APCs) are applicable to all authors who wish to submit their articles to the journal to cover the cost incurred in processing the manuscripts. Such cost will cover the peer-review, copyediting, typesetting, publishing, content depositing and archiving processes. Those charges are applicable only to authors who have their manuscript successfully accepted after peer-review.

Thermal Science and Engineering | $500 |
We encourage authors to publish their papers with us and don’t wish the cost of article processing fees to be a barrier especially to authors from the low and lower middle income countries/regions. A range of discounts or waivers are offered to authors who are unable to pay our article processing charges. Authors can write in to apply for a waiver and requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
*Article No. is mandatory for payment and it can be found on the acceptance letter issued by the Editorial Office. Payment without indicating Article No. will result in processing problem and delay in article processing. Please note that payments will be processed in USD. You can make payment through Masters, Visa or UnionPay card.

Table of Contents
This research investigates the effects of drying on some selected vegetables, which are Telfaria occidentalis, Amaranthu scruentus, Talinum triangulare, and Crussocephalum biafrae. These vegetables were collected fresh, sliced into smaller sizes of 0.5 cm, and dried in a convective dryer at varying temperatures of 60.0 ℃, 70.0 ℃ and 80.0 ℃ respectively, for a regulated fan speed of 1.50 ms−1, 3.00 ms−1 and 6.00 ms−1, and for a drying period of 6 h. It was discovered that the drying rate for fresh samples was 4.560 gmin−1 for Talinum triangulare, 4.390 gmin−1 for Amaranthu scruentus, 4.580 gmin−1 for Talinum triangulare, and 4.640 gmin−1 for Crussocephalum biafrae at different controlled fan speeds and regulated temperatures when the mass of the vegetable samples at each drying time was compared to the mass of the final samples dried for 6 h. The samples are considered completely dried when the drying time reaches a certain point, as indicated by the drying rate and moisture contents tending to zero. According to drying kinetics, the rate of moisture loss was extremely high during the first two hours of drying and then steadily decreased during the remaining drying duration. The rate at which moisture was removed from the vegetable samples after the drying process at varying regulated temperatures was noted to be in this trend: 80.0 ℃ > 70.0 ℃ > 60.0 ℃ and 6.0 ms−1 > 3.0 ms−1 > 1.5 ms−1 for regulated fan speed. It can be stated here that the moisture contents have significant effects on the drying rate of the samples of vegetables investigated because the drying rate decreases as the regulated temperatures increase and the moisture contents decrease. The present investigation is useful in the agricultural engineering and food engineering industries.
