Implication

Experimental validation and cfD modeling optimized the solar dryer performance for mango slices, indicating potential for reducing postharvest losses.

Key Points

The solar cabinet dryer design reduced mango moisture content from 45942.17 mol/m³ to 2,677 mol/m³ in two hours.
CFD simulations demonstrated a temperature difference of 4.35% and a humidity deviation of 7.8%, confirming accuracy with experimental data.
Optimized baffle design and inlet air velocity improved drying rates, particularly near lower trays, enhancing efficiency.
The developed dryer offers a sustainable approach to mitigate postharvest losses, benefiting smallholder farmers' livelihoods.
