Abstract :
A fabric drying cabinet has been developed for
domestic use. The concept came into been due to less
available solar energy for fabric drying during prolong
wet season between May and October every year in
Nigeria. Many baby wears during this period need
frequent wash and dried for use. Hence the design of a
portable fabric cabinet dryer based on the principles of
heat transfer and turbulent airflow. The drying chamber
was designed to be 0.420 m3
, electric motor power of 1kW,
volumetric air flow of 47.52m3
/s, fan’s velocity pressure of
185.6N/m2 with the system designed having total energy of
6.48 x 106
joules and useful energy of 5.6376 x 106
joules
while the waste energy is 0.8424 x 106
joules.
