DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A SEED DRYER USING PV SYSTEM IN THE DEPARTMENT ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC BAUCHI
Abstract
ABSTRACT
As the world population continues to increase with climate change, food insecurities remain one of the emerging challenges that require sustainable development and solution. Post-harvest losses happen to be one of the main causes that records massive quantities of food losses worldwide. Even though much research has been done in this area to produce multiple solutions ranging from different types of drying system utilizing different heating mechanisms, this problem is still prevalent. This project focuses on combining the most effective types of solar drying techniques to design and construct a solar dryer incorporating some basic electronics targeted at eliminating the possible problems to study the performance of the dryer to improve its efficiency.
