Abstract
This present work deals with experimental investigation of photovoltaic thermal collector de-sign and development with solar dryer (PVTCSD). An solar experimental investigation is done on coriander seeds by natural, forced and open sun drying to estimate different paramet-ric investigations such as solar radiation intensity, removal of moisture and the air outlet in the collector. Solar radiation is utilized as a source of energy to propel the photovoltaic thermal collector dryer; which was analysed in a drying testing chamber temperature in the range of 32οC to 59οC to dry 4 kg of coriander seeds. From the experimental study, it was understood that coriander seeds posses much more starting moisture 68% by weight and also the results proved that final moisture content has been decreased by 9% by weight during six bright days in the month of May 2021. The PVTCSD was used during the 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. In terms of un-derstanding PVTCSD, solar sun drying with the forced convection achieved superior results than other two modes of operation.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
