A Prototype Passive Solar Drying System: Exploitation of the Solar Chimney Effect for the Drying of Potato and Banana

Agricultural product drying is of great importance as it is a reliable method for fruit and vegetable preservation. Tackling the high energy consumption of the process will reduce the final product cost and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. In this work, a passive drying method was experimentally e...
