Drying of hot chilli using solar tunnel drier
M.A. Hossain,B. K. Bala +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mixed mode type forced convection solar tunnel drier was used to dry hot red and green chillies under the tropical weather conditions of Bangladesh, and the drier consisted of transparent plastic covered flat-plate collector and a drying tunnel connected in series to supply hot air directly into the drying tunnel using two fans operated by a photovoltaic module.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar drying of pineapple using solar tunnel drier
TL;DR: In this article, field level experiments on solar drying of pineapple using solar tunnel drier were conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh, where the drier consists of a transparent plastic covered flat plate collector and a drying tunnel connected in a series to supply hot air directly into the drying tunnel using two dc fans operated by a solar module.
Journal ArticleDOI
