Thermal Performance of a Flat-Plate Solar Collector for Drying Agricultural Crops

In this study, the finite volume method was used to evaluate the thermal performance of a flat-plate solar collector used to dry agricultural crops. A 3D numerical model was created and used to predict the outlet air velocities and temperatures for three inlet air velocities. When compared with expe...
