Drying of agricultural food products is one of the most attractive and cost-effective application of solar energy as it becomes a potentially viable substitute for fuel-wood in much of the developing world. The intermittent nature of the solar energy, which is the main source of energy in solar...

Developing efficient and cost effective solar dryer with thermal energy storage system for continuous drying of agricultural food products at steady state and moderate temperature (40-75 °C) has become potentially a viable substitute for fossil fuel in much of the developing world. Solar...
