摘　　要：In this paper, a new design of a natural convection solar dryer used to dry fruits is presented;taking into account the local climatic conditions prevailed in Jordan during summer season. The dryer will have a capacity of 100 kg of sliced apples and the simulation is based on mass and heat balances. It is deemed that such new design will be able to reduce the original moisture content, of the final product, to 10% within two days. The special tailored program could be used to calculate drying parameters for similar products under different climatic conditions. The next step will be focused on constructing the solar dryer in order to conduct actual experiments in the field.In this paper, a new design of a natural convection solar dryer used to dry fruits is presented;taking into account the local climatic conditions prevailed in Jordan during summer season.
