description: Multi tray solar dryer is commonly used for thin layers drying type due to its ease of manufacturing and economical aspects. However, the drawback of this dryer design is the non-uniformity in the required moisture content of end product. This work presents the development of multi chamber solar drying cabinet using numerical analysis. The main objective is to ensure uniform velocity distribution inside the multi chamber dryer. This aim has been achieved by series of modifications of design concepts based on the aerodynamic behavior of air flow. The results showed that four design phases to come out with optimum design configuration of the multi chamber drying cabinet. The velocity above the splitter has a significant difference of around 0.1im/s at the end of splitters among the chambers. It is concluded from this result that the cross section flow area has an impact on the uniformity of velocity and a further modification is recommended. © 2018 Author(s).
