Abstract
A detailed description of a novel direct-mode solar dryer with a stair case design is presented. The temperature variation of the dryer compa rtments with time of day are plotted. Its efficiency values as a solar collector ranged between 0.26 and 0.65. Drying curves for various fru its and vegetables are shown. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
