Solar drying
Abstract
Introduction The heat from the sun coupled with the wind has been used to dry food crops for preservation for several thousand years. Other crops such as timber need to be dried before they can be used effectively, in building for instance. This sun-drying has often developed into solar-drying, where the drying area is in an enclosed ventilated area – often with polythene, acrylic or glass covering as a more efficient harnessing of the elements of the drying operation. There are innumerable designs in use and each has its advantages and disadvantages. However, there are three basic designs upon which others are based: solar cabinet dryer, tent-dryer, and solar tunnel dryer. These are discussed below after a brief description of the principles of drying.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
