Design andFabrication ofHybrid Solar-Biomass System for Crops Drying

One of the applications of solar energy in agriculture industry is the drying of the agricultural crops. The limited source of solar energy becomes a problem in drying process that is slowing the drying process. With the additional source ofenergy, the problem can be solved. From here on, the pro...
