Abstract

This is a Projek Sarjana Muda thesis entitled Heat Flow Analysis of Solar Assisted Drying Machine. Mas Cotek leaves are the material that needs to be dried in this project. Thus this project emphasizes on the heat flow and the solar heat that can be collected through a solar heat collector that was designed and fabricated; as well as to get a good heat flow in the drying chamber. The main purpose of this project is to improvise and to cut the cost of heating process that is currently used in the leaves drying field. A solar heat collector was designed and fabricated to achieve the objective of this project. The solar heat collector was designed based on the Z-Flow pattern that is normally used by some modern farmers to dry out their goods. There are a few findings in conducting this project. For instance, the maximum heat that can be achieved using this solar heat collector is only around 44.2°C while the temperature needed to dry out the Mas Cotek leaves are around 60°C to 80°C. Thus in order to get the suitable temperature, a heater is used to enhance the temperature.
