Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Globally, interest is shifting toward green energy due to its environmental appeal. Therefore, to promote energy and environmental conservation in drying, several solar dryers have been developed which offers limitless, clean, and free energy to dry agricultural product. Among these solar dryers, solar greenhouse dryers offer a very simple low-temperature, energy-efficient structure capable of drying large beds of crops by harnessing thermal radiation energy from the sun. To improve the thermal performance in the passive mode especially, several modification approaches have been adopted. This article, therefore, reviewed various possible modification methods that have been adopted to improve the thermal performance of the greenhouse, with a focus on the modification of the northern wall. The various strategies involved in the modification of the north wall structure include creating an opaque north wall with black painted materials, installing a reflective north wall using a mirror, integrating heat storage materials like pebbles or brick, integrating phase change materials into the north wall, digging the soil depth to form a north wall and creating a variable southern roof with a modified north wall. Modifying the northern wall showed higher drying chamber temperature compared to completely transparent convectional greenhouse dryers in all the studies. These modifications can increase the temperature of the modified greenhouse by 13.38∼21.10% for a natural convection solar greenhouse dryer compared to the conventional type. With this approach, the radiation losses from the northern wall can be minimized and the energy management system of the greenhouse can be optimized for higher performance, making it more sustainable and eliminating the use of fossil fuel in agricultural product drying. • Greenhouse solar dryer offers limitless, clean, and free energy to dry crops. • Modification of the northern wall can raise the temperature of drying room. • Different modification methods of northern wall to improve performance are presented. • Insulation of the northern wall with reflective material is most common method. • Improving the thermal capacity of the north wall ensures continuous drying.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.
