Experimental investigation and economic evaluation of a new mixed-mode solar greenhouse dryer for drying of red pepper and grape
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a mixed mode solar greenhouse dryer with forced convection was investigated to dry red pepper and sultana grape, and the experimental drying curves show only the falling rate period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal behavior of indirect solar dryer: Nocturnal usage of solar air collector with PCM
TL;DR: In this paper, an indirect type forced convection solar dryer using Phase Change Material (PCM) was designed, constructed and experimentally investigated, which consists of a solar air panel for a direct heating of the drying agent, a solar energy accumulator (solar air collector with PCM cavity) and a drying chamber.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of a new solar air heater with packed-bed latent storage energy for nocturnal use
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study was conducted to evaluate the thermal performance of a new solar air heater collector using a packed bed of spherical capsules with a latent heat storage system, using both first and second law of thermodynamics, the energetic and exegetic daily efficiencies were calculated in closed/opened and opened cycle mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar air heater with phase change material: An energy analysis and a comparative study
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study is made to enhance the efficiency of a simple fabricated solar air heater (SAH) by using the thermal heat storage, a rectangular cavity filled with a Paraffin wax is used as a latent storage unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy and exergy analysis of a new solar air heater with latent storage energy
TL;DR: In this article, a new solar air heater with a packed-bed latent storage energy system using PCM spherical capsules was proposed, and the experimental results were used to analyze the performance of the system, based on temperature distribution in different parts of the collectors, absorbed, instantaneous stored and used thermal energy.
