Due to higher prices and shortages of fossil fuels reduce the fuel consumption used in drying process, more importance is given solar energy sources as it freely available. For these purposes, an indirect type dryer was designed developed dry agricultural products. Solar consists flat plate air collector with V-corrugated absorption plates, insulated chamber, chimney for exhaust air. The total area collectors 2 m2. size cabinet 1 m × 0.4 (width, depth, height). An experiment conducted study...
Energy and exergy analysis, in the thermodynamics, is an important tool used to predict performance of drying system. In this work, energy analyses are made during process banana using indirect type passive solar dryer. Solar flat plate air collector heat air. Banana gets sufficiently dried at temperatures between 28 82 °C. radiation measured it ranged from 335 1210 W/m2. Using first law analysis was carried out estimate amounts gained heater. Also, applying second determine losses process....
A numerical model for simultaneous heat and mass transfer was developed solar drying of spherical objects the object considered is green peas. Solar collector outlet temperature assumed as chamber justified through energy balance equations. Assumptions are imposed on governing equations without losing physics problem. Discretization performed by finite difference method with implicit scheme. To generalize, equation boundary conditions non-dimensionalized. The set solved Tridiagonal Matrix...
In this study, green chillies and okra were dried using an indirect type solar dryer ITSD their drying kinetics evaluated. The initial moisture content (MC) of chilli was 8.3984 kg/kg dry basis (db) it reduced to final MC 0.2218 db. Also, from 10.1234 0.3348 efficiency air collector the estimated during okra. activation energy found be 32.484 25.330 kJ/mol effective diffusion coefficient 1.464 × 10−9 5.1798 m2/s for okra, respectively. surface transfer coefficients (both heat mass)...
The aim of this work is to explore the possibilities phase change materials (PCMs) based thermal energy storage (TES) system for solar water heaters (SWH) ensure availability hot domestic purposes during nighttime. contains basically two heat absorbing units, namely tank and PCM-based unit. unit consists a galvanized iron box with PCM filled Salt Hydrates, which used as PCM. At daytime, completely allowed circulate between SWH PCMs. receives from transfers it PCMs by latent excess being...
