Drying of agricultural products is an energy-demanding process. High costs, scarcities in
fossil fuels and environmental threats attract the use of solar energy as an alternate source …

In this study, a new approach for numerically modeling of an entire cabinet solar dryer is
proposed. Collector, drying chamber and chimney are the three principle sections …

Fruits and vegetables are nutritious and good in minerals, vitamins, and fib. Most fresh fruits
and vegetables contain a minimum of 70% of moisture content which causes the formation …

This article provides numerical study of the solar chimney (SC) assembled with a reversed
absorber and packed bed for the indirect-mode solar dryer. The present study was designed …

A cabinet solar dryer with varying width of chimney has been designed and fabricated. In
