Abstract

The utilization of energy in a Mixed-Mode Solar Dryer is evaluated in this work. Exergetic analysis of the dryer revealed that drying in a cabinet other than direct sun drying made drying more attractive and as well conserve energy. It has an overall average exergetic efficiency of 56% and thermal efficiency of 66.95%.
