摘要：
Solar energy in Jordan is abundant and is available over much of the year. In addition, commercial dryers that utilize fuel or electricity are too expensive for most Jordanian farmers. This work primarily involved the design of a solar dryer. A prototype solar heater was fabricated, fitted to the drying bin and tested. Under average ambient conditions of 25 degrees C and 55 % RH, a 9-m(2) solar heater is capable of drying 30 kg of material from 20 to 10 % moisture (w.b.) in 6 hours. Testing a l-m(2) solar heater (dryer) showed that significant reductions in moisture can be effected.
