Experimental evaluation of drying of banana using a double-pass solar collector (DPSC) and theoretical analysis using a CFD model

Preservation of banana through drying is a recommended method for improving the shelf life. In this study, an experimental and theoretical evaluation of a developed forced-convection indirect solar drying system with a double-pass solar collector (DPSC) was undertaken. Experimentation using banana s...
