In India, most of the agricultural produces like paddy, maize, wheat, corn, oil seeds, pulses, chillies, etc. require a temperature range of 50–80 °C for effective drying. Hence, in these conditions, solar drying techniques seem

By comparing the drying rate curve, it is found that shortening the surface drying stage, which contains a repeated evaporation-diffusion-condensation process of moisture, is the key to improve the total drying efficiency. By stirring the coal and
