This paper compares the efficiency of a vertical solar dryer vis-à-vis the traditional drying method by the means of a computer simulation. The said program considers geometric, thermal and mechanical effects so as to simulate heat transfer via conduction, convection and radiation. We later ran additional tests with simulated data on the greenhouses(traditional method) so as to compare the results.
