The high energy absorption increases the values of solar fraction and instantaneous efficiency. The objective of this paper is to invest
This paper investigates the performance of a solar cabinet drying system equipped with a heat pipe evacuated tube solar collector (ETSC) and thermal storage system with application of PCM. The thermal analysis of the solar collector, drying efficiency, CFD modeling of the system and quality evaluation of dried apple slices was considered.
The solar collector, which stores thermal energy for indirect solar uses, is an essential component of the dryer. Unfortunately, the thermal efficiency of this device is generally low. In this study, a technique was employed to improve the heat transfer of the solar collector in a MMFCSD.
As a result, the air flowing through the solar collector had higher energy. Furthermore, when the air flowed into the drying chamber with transparent walls on each side, it received energy from direct solar radiation, including heat accumulating in the drying chamber from greenhouse conditions.
In this study, a technique was employed to improve the heat transfer of the solar collector in a MMFCSD. The technique involved adjusting the air flow pattern into a swirling flow to disturb the thermal boundary layer on the absorber plate under forced convection by using stainless wire mesh.
Latent heat storage of Phase Change Material (PCM) is beneficial for Thermal Energy Storage (TES) in solar energy systems.

These two concepts can be brought together on the way of Nearly Zero …

2. Solar energy is a time dependent and intermittent energy resource. In general energy needs or demands for a very wide variety of applications are also time dependent, but in an entirely different manner from the solar energy supply. There is thus a marked need for the storage of energy or another product of the solar process, if the solar energy is to meet the …

Solar energy collectors are basically distinguished by their motion—stationary, single-axis tracking, and two-axis tracking—and the operating temperature. First, we''ll examine the stationary solar collectors. These collectors are permanently fixed in position and do not track the sun. Three main types of collectors fall into this category.
