摘要: Abstract Drying agricultural food products in an indirect type solar dryer (ITSD) is a topic of frequent research. Heat transfer rate to the fluid flow collector can be enhanced by providing artificial roughness on surface absorber plate. The present work concentrates air and heat characteristics provided with square shaped rib over ITSD. 2D numerical simulations are performed for through relevant Reynolds number (Re) which ranges from 3800 18,000. Re, relative pitch (P/e), height (e/D) thermo-hydraulic performance parameter (THPP) chosen as design variables. governing equations turbulent field solved using RNG k–ɛ turbulence model. simulation results compared smooth duct shows that roughened enhances friction factor (fr) 2.13 3.54 times, respectively. P/e = 7.14 gives better THPP 1.45 at Re 15000. It found additional drying chamber temperature 4 K gain 106% when upgraded surface. model validated experimental outcomes existing literature good agreement noticed.
