Thermodynamic analysis of forced convective solar drying of cocoa with black coated sensible thermal storage material

Thermodynamic analysis of a forced convective solar dryer integrated with black coated sensible (firebrick) thermal storage material (STSM) for cocoa was investigated. The intermittent nature of solar radiation and its consequence on thermal processes such as drying necessitates the introduction of...
