Numerical Study of the Drying of Cassava Roots Chips Using an Indirect Solar Dryer in Natural Convection

In this work, an indirect solar dryer for drying cassava root chips was modelled and experimentally validated using the environmental conditions of Yaoundé in Cameroon and Yamoussoukro in Ivory Coast. The dryers were operational in natural convection mode. Resolution of the equations was achieved by...
