SOLAR DRYING OF BANANA USING A SOLAR CHIMNEY Andre Guimaraes Ferreira; Cristiana Santiago Brasil; Marcio Fonte Boa Cortez; Ramon Molina Valle; Andre Augusto Piacenza; Mario Werneck Experimental tests of banana drying in a solar chimney, where a circular greenhouse collector heats air that flows up a central tower. The setup is meant to avoid the stagnant airflow of natural-convection solar dryers when radiation is low.

Summary
Experimental tests of banana drying in a solar chimney, where a circular greenhouse collector heats air that flows up a central tower. The setup is meant to avoid the stagnant airflow of natural-convection solar dryers when radiation is low. Moisture loss in the bananas over time is reported together with measured drying-air temperature and velocity, solar radiation and inlet air temperature.
