    Abstract: In this work, we designed, built and tested a mini station for measuring solar irradiation, temperature and air humidity at the Higher Institute of Technology (IST), Mamou. For this purpose, we designed a device far from any shading, consisting a 2m in three-piece of mast topped by a squaresh tube bar to which the pyranometer, temperature and humid... Show More

    Abstract: Tunnel dryers typically employ flat double-sloped or dome-shaped collectors, which function adequately for single- rack systems but require separate components for multi- rack setups. Our innovative solution introduces an integrated trapezoidal collector that utilizes sidewalls as absorption surfaces, eliminating the need for additional units while... Show More
