Description
Summary:The demand for fossil fuels has increased to a larger extent in the past few years. So the prime concern is to move toward renewable energy. Solar energy is one of the forms of renewable energy and the solar drying method is one of the forms of use of this energy. Solar drying method not only reduces the consumption of fossil fuel but also saves the crops from post-harvest loss. In the present study, various environomical parameters have been analyzed such as energy analysis, embodied analysis, and CO2 emission rate for the proposed system. The embodied analysis for the proposed setup of the given system is found to be 530.4976 kWh.
