Parametric analysis of a sensible heat storage unit in an indirect solar dryer using computational fluid dynamics

Dounia Chaatouf et al.

Summary: The non-continuity of the drying process after sunset is a significant limitation in solar dryers. To overcome this, a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) unit was installed in an indirect solar dryer in eastern Morocco. With the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, the study showed that the solar dryer with sensible heat storage improved efficiency by approximately 2.47% at night.

Performance evaluation of PV powered solar tunnel dryer integrated with a mobile alert system for shrimp drying

S. Murali et al.

Summary: The study evaluated a PV-powered walk-in-type semi-cylindrical forced convection solar tunnel dryer integrated with a mobile alert system for drying shrimps. The drying characteristics and behavior were modeled, and the performance of the dryer and the PV panel were assessed. The results showed that the drying process followed the falling-rate drying period, and the Page model accurately predicted the drying behavior. The dryer achieved a maximum drying efficiency of 20.22%, and the PV panel supported the load requirement for drying with an average electrical efficiency of 11.64%.
