performance investigation of a heat recovery assisted solar dryer for mint drying
drying of agricultural products is a sophisticated process with high energy consumption. energy needed for sustainable development, is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity. the performance of a heat recovery assisted solar dryer was evaluated in this study. drying time, collector efficiency, energy consumption, solar fraction and energy recovery fraction were investigated at different ...
متن کاملAn Effective Passive Solar Dryer for Thin Layer Drying of Poultry Manure
Animal and poultry manures have been recognized for centuries as organic fertilizers providing essential nutrients to crops and improving soil structure due to their large input of organic matter. Increasing demand for poultry and egg products has led to intensification of the poultry rearing process, resulting in large amounts of poultry manure. Drying can be used to reduce the environmental i...
متن کاملIndirect Solar Drier for Drying of Hill Products
An indirect solar drier of 25 kg capacity has been developed fitted with solar cell for running the fan. The bulbs are provided in the solar collector for air heating during clouds and evening & morning for faster drying reducing drying time. 15 such solar driers have been installed in the state. Various hill agricultural crops have been dried in solar drier by the farmers and collected. The ma...
متن کاملA review paper on Solar Dryer
The unpredictable rise and frequent scarcity of fossil fuel accelerated the continuous search for an alternative power source. Solar is one of the renewable and sustainable sources of power that attracted a large community of researchers from all over the world. This is largely due to its abundant in both direct and indirect form. As such the development of efficient and inexpensive equipment f...
متن کاملModeling and experimental studies on a domestic solar dryer
A domestic solar dryer with transparent external surfaces was designed, built and tested. Thin-layer drying models that describe the drying phenomena in a unified way, regardless of the controlling mechanism; have been used to estimate the drying period for several products. Temperature of the drying medium is one of the factors that affect the drying rate constant of the exponential model. Thi...
