In this paper, a review on solar drying is presented. The review comprises the main
components, classifications and affecting parameters. Advantages, disadvantages and …

In this work, an updated review of solar wood drying is presented. Experimental
investigations, numerical studies and recent patents on the solar wood drying process were …

The objective of this paper is to model a natural convection mix-mode solar dryer
(NCMMSD) for drying agricultural products in an environment with short sunshine duration …

The main objective of this paper is to develop a computational model and to simulate the
drying of timber with a solar dryer. Two sets of equations have been established: one for the …

The wood drying process consumes a great deal of energy with pollutants carrying bi-
products. To preserve tropical and temperate forests and protect the environment, it is …

The use of solar energy in wood drying systems can reduce the often-heavy energy bill that
manufacturers in this promising sector complain about. In this context, the study of solar kilns …

This paper presents a numerical investigation of an indirect solar dryer for wood, using an
absorber placed directly behind the transparent cover on the top of the dryer with a layer of …

This work aims to study and characterize the drying kinetics, the heat mass transfer
coefficients, the densities, the thermal effusivities, the thermal diffusivities and Young's …

This study presented the behavior of a laboratory scale solar dryer, which was designed with
the objective of meeting the needs of low income carpenters of the tropical region of Africa …

The use of energy efficiency tools and solar energy in wood drying can help reduce the often
heavy energy consumption of industrial dryers. The rational management of energy in terms …
