Abstract

Solar crops drying as a process has currently become a decisive factor to improve the efficiency in the industrial, residential and farm sectors. Given its considerable importance, different researchers have proposed and developed a great number of theoretical and experimental models to predict the drying kinetics of the process, including the machine and the product. In the use of solar thermic driers, there have been great advances on developing models; however, the major part of these works has concentrated in driers of industrial scale. The unified models that allow predicting temperature profiles and moisture content for many types of crops, using handmade driers to small scales have been less applied. It has been mainly due to the wide diversity of products and the big differences between the existing processes. The purpose of this research is offering a panoramic about the state of the art related to models and present the basic theoretical foundations to develop a model for solar seed drying.
