Renewable Energy, 1996, vol. 7, issue 2, 177-183

Abstract: A detailed description of a novel direct-mode solar dryer with a staircase design is presented. The temperature variation of the dryer compartments with time of day are plotted. Its efficiency values as a solar collector ranged between 0.26 and 0.65. Drying curves for various fruits and vegetables are shown.
