Abstract |
|
This paper is to investigate the rock bed storage effect on the performance of solar dryers. The solar drying system uses solar radiation to dry agricultural product put on it. From the test carried out it's revealed that the dryer with storage material can perform more efficiently than those without storage. The Indian standard method of testing solar thermal was adopted. From the result it was observed that the highest grave temperature to be 690C and the solar radiation was 947.1W/m2. For further research candle wax should be use which can also fasten the rate of drying agricultural product and also investigate the performance of the solar dryers. |
