Design development and performance evaluation of photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) hybrid solar dryer for drying of ber (Zizyphus mauritiana) fruit

This research paper describes the drying kinetics of ber (Zizyphus mauritiana) fruit and economic evaluation of hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar dryer fabricated using locally available materials, e.g. galvanized iron sheet, glass, PV panel and fan. Ber fruits were dried to the safe level mo...
