Abstract
For drying process solar flat plate collectors are used to harness the solar energy. In order to harness more
solar heat energy from the solar flat plate collector the area of distribution of air flow inside the chamber must be
maximum in order to heat the air inside the chamber to maximum extent and going to analyse the air flow rate inside
the solar plate collector by using SOLID WORKS FLOEXPRESS ANALYSIS WIZARD in order to determine the
inlet outlet conditions which provide the required output. The conditions used to analyse the system are atmospheric
conditions at mass flow rate of 0.314 kg/s.
