Influence of Duct Configurations on the Performance of Solar-Assisted Heat Pump Dryer for Drying Tobacco Leaves
In the present study, a solar-assisted heat pump dryer (SAHPD) has been designed, fabricated, and tested its performance on drying tobacco leaves. The hot air generated from the solar collector and condenser unit of the heat pump was used as a source of heat in the drying chamber. In this study, we...
