  By Debashree Debadatta Behera, Shiv Sankar Das, Ramesh Chandra Mohanty, Raj Kumar Satankar, Bhagat Singh

  Abstract: A novel and high-efficiency hybrid solar dryer was designed and developed in this study to dry apple slices. The thermal analysis of the dryer is conducted by calculating collector efficiency, drying rate, and drying efficiency. Integrating an Arduino-based temperature and humidity monitoring system in a hybrid solar dryer enhances the ability to optimize performance and efficiency. Both the collector and drying chamber are made of aluminum sheet as it has …
