Abstract: The “Shell” dryer is an African solar food dryer using natural convection. Its design has been defined by users, in function of local working conditions and of its easy using. But it is necessary for the best behaviour of this dryer to optimize its air flow section design. We present here a theoretical study of a “rustic” process, through mathematical modelisation tools.
