Abstract |
|
Aim of this paper is to study an effect of evaporative capacity by evaluating a performance of solar air heater and dryer. This is also a performance indicator of the solar collector like a widely-used ‘‘collector efficiency’’. The comparison of variation in evaporative capacity with other properties and thermal efficiency are analyzed. The effect of meteorological conditions on performance of solar dryer can be found. Importance of the evaporative capacity and methods for determining the evaporative capacities are presented. |
