Solar Energy, 1979
The design of a solar trough is described which reflects solar radiation onto the bottom of a black metal tray which holds fruit to be dried. Drying results using this solar trough dryer were compared for several fruits with conventional dryers, indicating a 40 to 45% decrease in the required drying time to reach 50% moisture content. (SPH)

Performance Improvement of Solar Dryer
International Journal of Scientific Research, 2012Renewable energy sources are the best ways to meet the increasing demands of the world's energy and solar drying is one of the renewable energy sources. Solar drying is efficient method for drying food products and vegetables. Drying preserves foods by removing extra moisture from the food to prevent decay and spoilage.

Solar & Wind Technology, 1986
Abstract A modern unit for drying grains after harvesting was investigated. The unit is simply a rotary dryer that uses solar energy as the heating source. The performance was tested and found statisfactory. Results of tests for drying corn and peanuts are given in the form of tables and curves.

Techniques of Solar Crop Dryers
1989Plant products have to pass through well-defined steps for appropriate storage. The amount of moisture content of the product is the most important factor in determining the extent of deterioration during storage. Drying of products from plants is an important process in preservation.

Exergy Analysis of Solar Dryers
2017In order to find out the energy interactions and thermodynamic behaviour of drying air throughout a drying chamber, the energy and exergy analysis of the drying process needs to be informed. Exergy of a solar dryer is the maximum useful work possible during a drying process that brings the dryer into equilibrium with a heat reservoir. The exergy method
