Title: Building and use of a performance model for a solar dryer

Journal Article · · Dry. Technol.; (United States)

The aim of this study is to show how a simple numerical model can improve the understanding of the thermal and hydrodynamic behaviour of a dryer working under natural conditions. This model is managed taking into account the real operating conditions of the dryer. The general procedure permits a hydrodynamic curve to be obtained and is validated by a comparison with experimental results.
