Abstract :
Renewable energy sources are the best ways to meet the increasing demands of the world’s energy and solar drying is one of the renewable energy sources. Solar drying is efficient method for drying food products and vegetables. Drying preserves foods by removing extra moisture from the food to prevent decay and spoilage. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a simulation tool, which uses the powerful computer and applied mathematics to model flow simulations for the prediction of heat, mass and the momentum transfer and optimal design in industrial processes. The aim of this paper is to make optimum design of solar dryer with the help of CFD analysis using ANSYS software by varying different parameters such as the angle of solar plate, outlet pipe diameter, inlet area of dryer and reflector plate.
