Abstract

This present work deals with experimental investigation of photovoltaic thermal collector de-sign and development with solar dryer (PVTCSD). An solar experimental investigation is done on coriander seeds by natural, forced and open sun drying to estimate different paramet-ric investigations such as solar radiation intensity, removal of moisture and the air outlet in the collector. Solar radiation is utilized as a source of energy to propel the photovoltaic thermal collector dryer; which was analysed in a drying testing chamber temperature in the range of 32οC to 59οC to dry 4 kg of coriander seeds. From the experimental study, it was understood that coriander seeds posses much more starting moisture 68% by weight and also the results proved that final moisture content has been decreased by 9% by weight during six bright days in the month of May 2021. The PVTCSD was used during the 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. In terms of un-derstanding PVTCSD, solar sun drying with the forced convection achieved superior results than other two modes of operation.

香菜种子在太阳能光伏集热器中的干燥研究

本文对太阳能干燥器(PVTCSD)光伏集热器的设计与开发进行了实验研究。本文对香菜种子进行了自然、强制和露天晒干实验，对不同的太阳辐射强度、除湿率和集热器出风口等参数进行了研究。利用太阳辐射作为能量源推动光伏集热器干燥器;在温度为32至59οC的干燥测试室中对其进行分析，以干燥4公斤香菜籽。从实验研究中可以了解到，香菜种子具有更多的起始水分68%的重量，并且结果证明，在2021年5月的六个晴天中，最终水分含量已经减少了9%的重量。本署于上午九时至下午四时使用。在对PVTCSD的理解方面，强迫对流的太阳干燥效果优于其他两种操作方式。

期刊介绍： Journal of Thermal Enginering is aimed at giving a recognized platform to students, researchers, research scholars, teachers, authors and other professionals in the field of research in Thermal Engineering subjects, to publish their original and current research work to a wide, international audience. In order to achieve this goal, we will have applied for SCI-Expanded Index in 2021 after having an Impact Factor in 2020. The aim of the journal, published on behalf of Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul-Turkey, is to not only include actual, original and applied studies prepared on the sciences of heat transfer and thermodynamics, and contribute to the literature of engineering sciences on the national and international areas but also help the development of Mechanical Engineering. Engineers and academicians from disciplines of Power Plant Engineering, Energy Engineering, Building Services Engineering, HVAC Engineering, Solar Engineering, Wind Engineering, Nanoengineering, surface engineering, thin film technologies, and Computer Aided Engineering will be expected to benefit from this journal’s outputs.
