- Abstract: The agricultural and food products may be enhanced by reducing their moisture contents, by means of a drying process. The aim of the work is to evaluate a mathematical modelling based on the experimental analysis of forced circulation of mixed mode solar dryer. From previous literature four different models (Newton, Page, Henderson & Pabis and Wang & Singh) are chosen for testing the performance of solar dryer. Selected models are evaluated by using EMD, ERMS, R 2 and χ 2 and it is concluded that Page model is more suitable for the fabricated mixed mode solar dryer at air flow rate 0.009 Kg/s based on the experimental analysis.
