Design and Development of Solar Dryer of Convergent Nozzle type Flat Plate Collector
Journal Title: REST Journal on Emerging trends in Modelling and Manufacturing - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective of this study was to design, develop and carryout detailed experimentation on a new type solar dryer. This is new because it is having a Convergent nozzle type flat plate collector. Convergent nozzle is helps to increase the outlet velocity of nozzle, same principle here used to increase the outlet velocity of flat plate collector. By increasing velocity the drying time is reduces. The experimentation is carried out on sliced onion and grapes. Now a day the new innovations are required in solar dryer to fulfil the requirements of drying agricultural and industrial products. The design considerations and assumptions are very important to design any system. To reduce the drying time, the methodology which are using is also very important. It is observed that by using blower the drying time is reduced. The solar drying system is very good comparatively the open sun drying system.
