Abstract:ABSTRACT
The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of geometrical parameters of a solar chimney, i.e., on the flow channel air gap, on the performance of a solar dryer in terms of thermal efficiency, drying efficiency, and dried product weight loss. Experimental outcomes showed the temperature inside the drying chamber increases as solar intensity increases, while relative humidity decreases. In the study sliced potatoes were selected to be dried. The average collector and chimney effic… Show more
