ABSTRACT
The technological development of rural community has been severely hampered by
the lack of adequate energy supply to the villages. Reaching these villages through
conventional energy sources may be prohibitively expensive. Solar energy is abundantly and
cheaply available in all these remote villages. Solar Drying experiments in thin layer drying
of banana were conducted in Natural Convective Fabricated Solar Cabinet Drier consisting of
Flat plate collector and a drying cabinet with perforated trays and aspirator. A glass panel of
1.00x2.00 m dimensions was fixed at an angle of 45° to the cabinet. This provision was to
enable entrapment of solar radiation between the glass and black painted surface of the
cabinet. This entrapped solar radiation in turn heats up the air within the dryer. The energy
required to dry banana from 74.3% to 7.13% in two days (6 hrs /day) was calculated. The
solar air heater was calculated for their performance at no load condition with varying flow
rate of natural circulated air. Three drying trays were used for drying purpose. The maximum
outlet temperature of 62 0
C was obtained at the flow rate of 2.08 m3
/s when the inlet
atmospheric air temperature was 36 0
C.
Keywords: Solar Energy, Solar Cabinet Drier, Solar Collector, Air Flow Rate, Drying
1 INTRODUCTION
Drying of agricultural products is one of the most important aspects covered in the
post-harvest technology in processing engineering. "The term drying refers to the removal of
moisture from agricultural product to a level that is in equilibrium with normal atmospheric
air in order to preserve the quality and nutritive value as food, feed and its viability as
seeds." Drying involves a large amount of heat energy, which is either from renewable or
non-renewable sources. The shortage of non-renewable sources has compelled the related

authorities and scientist concerned to exploit the use of renewable sources of energy such as
solar, biogas, wind etc.
The age old method of drying materials with solar energy by spreading on the ground
for direct exposure to solar radiation requires open space, manual labor for material
handling and involves low temperature heat for removal of moisture. To reduce any possible
contamination and improve the product quality, it is essential that the drying be enclosed
and dehydrated under controlled conditions, non-uniform drying may result in formation of
cracks in the kernels.
In order to avoid the application of conventional forms of fuels and cut down the
operative costs of drying of products alternative source of energy is to be allocated which is
cheaply or freely available, solar energy can effectively be utilized for the purposes as it is
abundantly available and may serve the task. Direct lined glass/plastic covered solar dryers
often referred as natural dryer. Usually one or two layers of transparent covers are provided
depending upon the temperature required for drying. In directly heated solar dryers in whom
air was heated in a solar heater was supplied to separate drying chamber. Different
investigators worked on different designs and configuration of air heaters.
The present paper discusses the design and fabrication of solar cabinet drier to dry
high moisture hygroscopic grain (Banana) in three consecutive trays in 6 hours a day for
three continuous days. In present case solar cabinet drier was evaluated at no load condition
for an hour for a typical day in summer at Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh (India). The overall
performance has been encouraging and discussed in the paper.

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1 FABRCATIONALASSUMPTIONS
The following parameters were considered while fabricating the solar dryer.
I Scale of use.
II Temperature it retains in all-weather consideration.
III Type of material to be dried.
IV Efficiency of drying.
V Cost economics.
Based on the above parameters he following assumptions was made:
I the loss of heat from the cabinet was negligible.
II there is uniform circulation of air inside the dryer.
III there is no air leaks from the cabinet.
IV there is no loss of heat from the duct connecting collector and drier
2.2 FABRICATION OF DRYER
Solar Cabinet drier consist of three major parts i.e. solar collector, duct section and drying
chamber.
2.2.1 Solar collector
For this unit, a frame of the size 1x2 using mild steel was made. Additional mild steel
angles were also provided at top and bottom to screw with the base and to fix the glasses.

This frame was covered with single sheet aluminum so that there is no chance of corrosion or
rusting. It consists of the collector box, insulating material, absorber and glass. The frame
was covered with black painted copper plates with black and glass wool inserted between
plates and frame. The collector was fixed at an angle of 30° to the base. This provision was to
enable entrapment of maximum solar radiation between the glass and black painted surface of
the cabinet. This entrapped solar radiation in turn heats up the air within the duct passing
through the collector.
2.2.2 Duct Section
Duct section was provided above the absorber plate for air to flow to fix the
transparent cover, metallic bolted with nut and bolt provided on sides of the frame. A two
inch pipe was used to connect the collector to the drying chamber. The pipe was tightly
wrapped with glass wool.
2.2.3 Drying Chamber
The frame of the dryer was made of angle iron of dimensions 1" and 1". The frame
built to take up the load of the cabinet and other parts of the dryer. Mild steel sheets of
24SWG covered the frame. These sheets were painted inside and outside with boiler paint so
that the whole surface simulated a black body effect. The paint also helped to protect the
structure from damage caused by rust. After that it a insulating material was pasted on the
whole body of the drying chamber. The Overall dimensions of the drying chamber is
600mmx600mm, the height of the chamber was 1200mm. Four perforated aluminum trays
were provided within the drying chamber to hold the materials that were to be dried. The
trays were of same size. A set of four trays of 23" x 23" was used. The collective holding
capacity of the trays was 4-5 kg .Schematic of the fabricated solar cabinet drier is shown in
figure 1. Also a schematic and full photo of the whole drier is shown in figure 1(a) and (b).

2.3.1 At no load condition
Variation in air temperature, relative humidity and air velocity inside and outside the
dryer when not loaded was observed and readings were taken respectively.
2.3.2 At load condition
After testing the dryer at no load condition the dryer was tested for loaded conditions
taking the ambient temperature, lst
inlet and 2nd
inlet temperatures and outlet temperatures.
Sample of 5 kg Banana was bought from the market and then cleaned, sliced and
carefully spread on the tray. Dryer was checked for proper amount of sunlight supply. The
readings were taken at each hour consistently for 8 hrs for three consecutive days. Initial
moisture of Banana was 93.5%.
3. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
After the fabrication of the experimental set up a detailed investigation using
different instrumentations has been carried out to assess the performance of the dryer. A
Solarymeter was used to measure the solar radiation. Thermometers and the thermocouples
were used to measure the inlet and outlet temperature. For the performance study the
following data were collected:
-Solar incident radiation on the air heater collector surface
-Air heater collector, dryer and ambient temperature
-Humidity in the drying chamber and in the ambient air
-Mass flow rate of air in the dryer
-Weight of the sample at time to time
Final dried banana is shown in the figure 2
Fig no 2 Solar dried banana
4. RESULTS and DISCUSSION
Blanched sample of banana was dried in the solar dryer and different parameters like
drying air temperature at inlets and outlet, air velocity inside the dryer and moisture losses
were recorded for three consecutive days. The results of the investigation have been
discussed below.

DryingTime(min)
4.1 Variation in air temperature
Hourly variation in the temperature of ambient air and drying air at two inlets and one
outlet of the dryer for two consecutive days of drying for batch loading of banana samples in
the month of August. Figure 4 reveals that the drying air temperatures were lower in morning
at 10 am and in evening at 5 pm. The minimum drying air temp at 1st
inlet on first drying day
and second drying day were 41 °C and 47 °C respectively. At 2nd
drying-air inlet the
minimum temperature were 43 °C and 50 °C on 1st
and 2nd
drying day respectively. The
maximum drying temperature achieved during two consecutive drying days for banana was
69.5 °C at 1 pm on 1st
drying day in 2nd
inlet. And for 2nd
drying day in first inlet it was 52 °C
at 1pm, when the ambient temperatures at both the times were 37 °C. There were about 10 °C
temperature differences between two inlets of drying air. The outlet air temperature was
slightly more than that of ambient air, and the maximum outlet air temperature was observed
to be 48 °C on second drying day at 3 pm. Fig shows that solar intensity was fast during 10
am to 2 pm on both observation days and it also shows that the temperature falls rapidly in
the evening.
4.2 Variation in air velocity
It was observed that air velocity depends upon rise in temperature of air inside the
dryer (figure 3). The maximum air velocity attained by dryer was 0.55 m/s at 1 pm when
temperature was 36 °C on the 1st
day of the observation. The rate of moisture evaporation
was high on the first drying day. The average air velocity inside the dryer was 0.173 m/s and
the average atmospheric air velocity in two days of batch loading for banana drying was
0.372 m/s.
4.3 Variation in Moisture Content
The moisture evaporated from each tray in batch loading of banana in the solar dryer
was calculated each time by weighing. The average rate moisture evaporated from each tray
was 0.037 kg/hr at the end of the 1st
drying day and 0.0412 kg /hr at the end of
Fig 3 Variation of air velocity with time

the second drying day. The maximum drying (moisture evaporated) was achieved in Tray 2;
moisture content decreases from 74.3 % to 7.3 %. figure 5)

Fig 5 Drying curve of banana
5. CONCLUSIONS
The fabricated low cost dryer worked satisfactorily for drying of Banana. This adds no
complexity to design, operation and maintenance of system. It dried almost 4 to 4.5 kg of
Banana from 93.5% moisture respectively to 11.23%. It was about 60% more efficient than
the traditional sun drying method as the loss of hot air was restricted and heating was
continuous and uniformly applicable. The solar radiation falling on the collector can be
controlled by changing the direction of the dryer; so that the temperature rise in the drying
chamber can be controlled and hence drying can be made more effective for any other
agricultural products too. Due to the low cost incurred in its manufacturing and based on its
performance we can easily recommend it for the farmers. The drying rate of Banana is higher
at higher moisture content keeping all other variables constant.

  • 1. International Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Technology (IJMET), ISSN 0976 – 6340(Print), ISSN 0976 – 6359(Online) Volume 4, Issue 3, May - June (2013) © IAEME 299 DRYING CHARACTERISTICS OF A HYGROSCOPIC MATERIAL IN A FABRICATED NATURAL CONVECTIVE SOLAR CABINET DRIER Singh, L.P.1 , Choudhry V.2 , Upadhyay, R. K.3 1,3 Mechanical Engineering Department, SHIATS-Deemed University 2 Mechanical Engineering Department, IFTM University, Moradabad ABSTRACT The technological development of rural community has been severely hampered by the lack of adequate energy supply to the villages. Reaching these villages through conventional energy sources may be prohibitively expensive. Solar energy is abundantly and cheaply available in all these remote villages. Solar Drying experiments in thin layer drying of banana were conducted in Natural Convective Fabricated Solar Cabinet Drier consisting of Flat plate collector and a drying cabinet with perforated trays and aspirator. A glass panel of 1.00x2.00 m dimensions was fixed at an angle of 45° to the cabinet. This provision was to enable entrapment of solar radiation between the glass and black painted surface of the cabinet. This entrapped solar radiation in turn heats up the air within the dryer. The energy required to dry banana from 74.3% to 7.13% in two days (6 hrs /day) was calculated. The solar air heater was calculated for their performance at no load condition with varying flow rate of natural circulated air. Three drying trays were used for drying purpose. The maximum outlet temperature of 62 0 C was obtained at the flow rate of 2.08 m3 /s when the inlet atmospheric air temperature was 36 0 C. Keywords: Solar Energy, Solar Cabinet Drier, Solar Collector, Air Flow Rate, Drying 1 INTRODUCTION Drying of agricultural products is one of the most important aspects covered in the post-harvest technology in processing engineering. "The term drying refers to the removal of moisture from agricultural product to a level that is in equilibrium with normal atmospheric air in order to preserve the quality and nutritive value as food, feed and its viability as seeds." Drying involves a large amount of heat energy, which is either from renewable or non-renewable sources. The shortage of non-renewable sources has compelled the related INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY (IJMET) ISSN 0976 – 6340 (Print) ISSN 0976 – 6359 (Online) Volume 4, Issue 3, May - June (2013), pp. 299-305 © IAEME: www.iaeme.com/ijmet.asp Journal Impact Factor (2013): 5.7731 (Calculated by GISI) www.jifactor.com IJMET © I A E M E
  • 2. International Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Technology (IJMET), ISSN 0976 – 6340(Print), ISSN 0976 – 6359(Online) Volume 4, Issue 3, May - June (2013) © IAEME 300 authorities and scientist concerned to exploit the use of renewable sources of energy such as solar, biogas, wind etc. The age old method of drying materials with solar energy by spreading on the ground for direct exposure to solar radiation requires open space, manual labor for material handling and involves low temperature heat for removal of moisture. To reduce any possible contamination and improve the product quality, it is essential that the drying be enclosed and dehydrated under controlled conditions, non-uniform drying may result in formation of cracks in the kernels. In order to avoid the application of conventional forms of fuels and cut down the operative costs of drying of products alternative source of energy is to be allocated which is cheaply or freely available, solar energy can effectively be utilized for the purposes as it is abundantly available and may serve the task. Direct lined glass/plastic covered solar dryers often referred as natural dryer. Usually one or two layers of transparent covers are provided depending upon the temperature required for drying. In directly heated solar dryers in whom air was heated in a solar heater was supplied to separate drying chamber. Different investigators worked on different designs and configuration of air heaters. The present paper discusses the design and fabrication of solar cabinet drier to dry high moisture hygroscopic grain (Banana) in three consecutive trays in 6 hours a day for three continuous days. In present case solar cabinet drier was evaluated at no load condition for an hour for a typical day in summer at Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh (India). The overall performance has been encouraging and discussed in the paper. • Dr L P Singh(E-mail: lpsingh_76@yahoo.co.in) Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Deemed University-Allahabad, INDIA 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1 FABRCATIONALASSUMPTIONS The following parameters were considered while fabricating the solar dryer. I Scale of use. II Temperature it retains in all-weather consideration. III Type of material to be dried. IV Efficiency of drying. V Cost economics. Based on the above parameters he following assumptions was made: I the loss of heat from the cabinet was negligible. II there is uniform circulation of air inside the dryer. III there is no air leaks from the cabinet. IV there is no loss of heat from the duct connecting collector and drier 2.2 FABRICATION OF DRYER Solar Cabinet drier consist of three major parts i.e. solar collector, duct section and drying chamber. 2.2.1 Solar collector For this unit, a frame of the size 1x2 using mild steel was made. Additional mild steel angles were also provided at top and bottom to screw with the base and to fix the glasses.

It consists of the collector box, insulating material, absorber and glass. The frame was covered with black painted copper plates with black and glass wool inserted between plates and frame. The collector was fixed at an angle of 30° to the base. This provision was to enable entrapment of maximum solar radiation between the glass and black painted surface of the cabinet. This entrapped solar radiation in turn heats up the air within the duct passing through the collector. 2.2.2 Duct Section Duct section was provided above the absorber plate for air to flow to fix the transparent cover, metallic bolted with nut and bolt provided on sides of the frame. A two inch pipe was used to connect the collector to the drying chamber. The pipe was tightly wrapped with glass wool. 2.2.3 Drying Chamber The frame of the dryer was made of angle iron of dimensions 1" and 1". The frame built to take up the load of the cabinet and other parts of the dryer. Mild steel sheets of 24SWG covered the frame. These sheets were painted inside and outside with boiler paint so that the whole surface simulated a black body effect. The paint also helped to protect the structure from damage caused by rust. After that it a insulating material was pasted on the whole body of the drying chamber. The Overall dimensions of the drying chamber is 600mmx600mm, the height of the chamber was 1200mm. Four perforated aluminum trays were provided within the drying chamber to hold the materials that were to be dried. The trays were of same size. A set of four trays of 23" x 23" was used. The collective holding capacity of the trays was 4-5 kg .Schematic of the fabricated solar cabinet drier is shown in figure 1. Also a schematic and full photo of the whole drier is shown in figure 1(a) and (b).

Sample of 5 kg Banana was bought from the market and then cleaned, sliced and carefully spread on the tray. Dryer was checked for proper amount of sunlight supply. The readings were taken at each hour consistently for 8 hrs for three consecutive days. Initial moisture of Banana was 93.5%. 3. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE After the fabrication of the experimental set up a detailed investigation using different instrumentations has been carried out to assess the performance of the dryer. A Solarymeter was used to measure the solar radiation. Thermometers and the thermocouples were used to measure the inlet and outlet temperature. For the performance study the following data were collected: -Solar incident radiation on the air heater collector surface -Air heater collector, dryer and ambient temperature -Humidity in the drying chamber and in the ambient air -Mass flow rate of air in the dryer -Weight of the sample at time to time Final dried banana is shown in the figure 2 Fig no 2 Solar dried banana 4. RESULTS and DISCUSSION Blanched sample of banana was dried in the solar dryer and different parameters like drying air temperature at inlets and outlet, air velocity inside the dryer and moisture losses were recorded for three consecutive days. The results of the investigation have been discussed below.

Figure 4 reveals that the drying air temperatures were lower in morning at 10 am and in evening at 5 pm. The minimum drying air temp at 1st inlet on first drying day and second drying day were 41 °C and 47 °C respectively. At 2nd drying-air inlet the minimum temperature were 43 °C and 50 °C on 1st and 2nd drying day respectively. The maximum drying temperature achieved during two consecutive drying days for banana was 69.5 °C at 1 pm on 1st drying day in 2nd inlet. And for 2nd drying day in first inlet it was 52 °C at 1pm, when the ambient temperatures at both the times were 37 °C. There were about 10 °C temperature differences between two inlets of drying air. The outlet air temperature was slightly more than that of ambient air, and the maximum outlet air temperature was observed to be 48 °C on second drying day at 3 pm. Fig shows that solar intensity was fast during 10 am to 2 pm on both observation days and it also shows that the temperature falls rapidly in the evening. 4.2 Variation in air velocity It was observed that air velocity depends upon rise in temperature of air inside the dryer (figure 3). The maximum air velocity attained by dryer was 0.55 m/s at 1 pm when temperature was 36 °C on the 1st day of the observation. The rate of moisture evaporation was high on the first drying day. The average air velocity inside the dryer was 0.173 m/s and the average atmospheric air velocity in two days of batch loading for banana drying was 0.372 m/s. 4.3 Variation in Moisture Content The moisture evaporated from each tray in batch loading of banana in the solar dryer was calculated each time by weighing. The average rate moisture evaporated from each tray was 0.037 kg/hr at the end of the 1st drying day and 0.0412 kg /hr at the end of Fig 3 Variation of air velocity with time

The maximum drying (moisture evaporated) was achieved in Tray 2; moisture content decreases from 74.3 % to 7.3 %. figure 5) Fig 4 Variation of air temperature with time Fig 5 Drying curve of banana 5. CONCLUSIONS The fabricated low cost dryer worked satisfactorily for drying of Banana. This adds no complexity to design, operation and maintenance of system. It dried almost 4 to 4.5 kg of Banana from 93.5% moisture respectively to 11.23%. It was about 60% more efficient than the traditional sun drying method as the loss of hot air was restricted and heating was continuous and uniformly applicable. The solar radiation falling on the collector can be controlled by changing the direction of the dryer; so that the temperature rise in the drying chamber can be controlled and hence drying can be made more effective for any other agricultural products too. Due to the low cost incurred in its manufacturing and based on its performance we can easily recommend it for the farmers. The drying rate of Banana is higher at higher moisture content keeping all other variables constant.
