Introduction
The drying of grains is a crucial step in the agricultural process to ensure their preservation and quality for consumption. Traditional drying methods such as sun drying and mechanical drying using fossil fuels have been the norm for many years. However, with the increasing awareness of environmental issues and the need to reduce carbon emissions, there is a growing interest in developing renewable-powered drying systems for grains. This thesis aims to explore the development of such systems and their potential benefits for the agricultural industry.
