Energy is a crucial input in the process of economic, social and industrial development of
any nation. Fluctuating solar insolation and late sunrise hour has led to poor quality dried …

Solar drying utilizes sun energy to heat air for the drying of materials. It enhances
preservation and shelf life of agricultural-produce. The limitations of the conventional open …

Abstract Design in a solar food drying system is crucial for food drying performance. In order
to make effective use of the sun, the use of air-heated solar collectors is gradually increasing …

In this paper, a hybrid solar panel integrated dryer using both solar energy as well as
electrical energy has been designed, constructed and tested at the faculty of Science, The …

Drying is an important process in many industries to reduce moisture content inside the
product to a safe limit to reduce losses or as a requirement for the downstream processes …

The main objective of this study is to design and fabricate a low-cost hybrid solar drying
system and present the drying kinetics, heat transfer coefficient and thin layer models for the …

Drying means removing the moisture and water vapours contents in the product. Earlier
were drying the food in the sense of keeping the food in a plate or on a ground ie the open …

Drying which is the important process in the preservation of food picks up the moisture in the
wet product and keep it at the lower moisture content. However, this process needs the …

Aims: The objective of this paper is to develop a rectangular solar dryer box in which grains
are dried by direct radiation through the transparent walls and roof of the cabinet and by the …

The unpredictable rise and inadequacy of nonrenewable energy sources like “fossil fuel
accelerated the continuous look for an alternate power source”[1]. Solar energy is one …
