TL;DR: In this article, an indirect solar dryer was used to study the drying of sweet potato slices, and a mathematical model for solar drying of the slices was derived based on the simplified form of the Fick's diffusion equation.
432 citations
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the various designs, details of construction and operational principles of the wide variety of practically-realised designs of solar-energy drying systems reported previously is presented in this article.
