Solar drying is a traditional method for removing moisture from food products. Dryers with different dimensions and models are often used for drying food products using solar energy. Indirect Solar Dryer (ISD) was the latest development to dry food products and that ISD with fins inserted Thermal Energy Storage (TES) unit to enhance its performance is not being reviewed in detail yet. So, this review intends to study the features and benefits of ISD with fins inserted TES units for removing moisture from food products. Considerable ISD with fins inserted TES outcomes were reviewed, presented and tabled. An economic analysis of ISD was also presented. The numerical analysis of ISD was reviewed and tabulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for drying food products. It was found that an improvement in increased heat and the performance parameters of moisture removal kinetics of food products on …
