Mathematical modeling and simulation of a solar agricultural dryer with back-up biomass burner and thermal storage

Solar drying is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for drying agricultural products. To design a proper solar dryer for specific products, thermodynamic relations for the dryer system need to be considered. Numerical simulations are commonly used for the design and operational cont...
