Experimental Study of the Thermal Performance of a Sensitive Solar Energy Storage System on a Rock Bed (Granite) for a Drying Application

Salifou Tera, Souleymane Sinon, Kayaba Haro, Oumar Sanogo & Sié Kam · Physical Science International Journal · 2023

The use of solar energy is hampered by the intermittency of the resource and the constraints of storing the thermal form of this energy. The processes using this resource are therefore faced with problems of continuity of the process. To remedy this, this work proposes to develop...
