Abstract
An experimental investigation was conducted to study the performance of a novel indirect type free convection solar dryer. The novel and a conventional indirect passive solar dryer were built. Solar irradiation and temperature of different locations were recorded. The air at the drying chamber entrance, lower space, and upper space temperatures besides the thermal efficiency of the novel dryer were 68, 39, 49 and 85%, respectively, higher than the conventional one.
期刊介绍:
Scientific Review Engineering and Environmental Sciences [Przegląd Naukowy Inżynieria i Kształtowanie Środowiska] covers broad area of knowledge and practice on fields such as: sustainable development, landscaping of non-urbanized lands, environmental engineering, construction projects engineering land management, protection and land reclamation, environmental impact of investments, ecology, hydrology and water management, ground-water monitoring and restoration, geotechnical engineering, meteorology and connecting subjects. Authors are welcome to submit theoretical and practice-oriented papers containing detailed case studies within above mentioned disciplines. However, theoretical papers should contain part with practical application of the theory presented. Papers (in Polish or English languages) are accepted for publication after obtaining positive opinions of two reviewers. Papers published elsewhere are not accepted.
