Abstract
This thesis presents the design, experimental, and theoretical analysis of a mixed-mode natural convection solar crop dryer with back up heater(MNCSCDBH). The ultimate aim of the research is to study the thermal buoyancy characteristics and possible drying conditions of a mixed-mode natural convection solar crop dryer with integrated collector-storage and back-backup heater through modelling and experimental studies...
