Maximizing the utilization of solar energy in drying of potato

This study was proceeded to adjudge a maximizing the utilization of solar Energy in the drying of potato, Experimental work was proceeded under different levels of temperature and thickness of Potato slices “2-3mm” at constant air velocity of 0.78 m/min. The experimental measurements included moisture content Potato slices, air temperature, air relative humidity, solar drying efficiency and changes of the drying rate Potato Measuring the utilization rate of solar energy, with mirrors or without mirrors. The moisture content of potato decreased from 80.9 to 5.55 kg/kg for potato slices treated using mirrors, this decrease in moisture content was greater than when the slides were not treated and without mirrors
