Abstract
The purpose of the research is to make an analysis of the air flow through a solar collector cabin-type dryer and evaluate the numerical solution of the thermal behavior of the dryer which have been already studied in a previous experimental research. The numerical results showed that the validation differed by a maximum of 4.79% in relation to the thermal efficiency, and 4.46°C in relation to the temperature at the exit to the air, comparing to the experimental data.
