The Solar Conduction Dryer (SCD) consists of a rectangular box, which has a black surface inside and a glass lid in the top. Sliced fruits and vegetables have to be kept inside the box and the box has to be placed in the sun to begin the dehydration process. The SCD works on the principle of heat transfer through radiation and convection. When the SCD is placed in the sun, solar radiation enters the box through the glass lid and heats up the air inside the box through ultraviolet rays of the sun, which are generated once the normal sunlight passes through the glass. The rectangular box has a black surface inside, which absorbs most of the heat. This retained heat is transferred to the air inside the box through convection. Thus the heat is trapped in the air inside the box through convection and radiation, which is utilized to absorb all the moisture and dry the fruits and vegetables.
