Abstract: This research may be seen in the solar drying of several mature plants. Fruits and vegetables such as peaches and wild mint are grown in a semi-arid region near Quetta, Pakistan. Our research is confined to determining the volume of moisture removed from the distinct items and employing forced convection using three distinct mass flow rates to regulate the pace of the solar dryer, which enables us to further our study and improve the influence of mass flow rate on the quantity of water extracted from the item. A series of mathematical models for different scientists, based on the mathematical connection used, and by determining the constants for each model, which implies that each mass flow correlates to the constants of the five models, and thus the product ultimately influences them in terms of type, shape, and mass. The findings were upgraded, and analyzed the mathematical models of the scientists with our approach, which was likewise quite accurate. We infer that the mass flow rate has an effect on the coefficients of the developed model, and it is an essential component. The model may be used to forecast the moisture content of peach and wild mint during the drying system.
