CFD Temperature Simulation for Solar Dryer

I need a complete CFD study that shows how temperature is distributed inside my solar cabinet dryer when it operates between 40 °C and 60 °C under a predominantly vertical airflow pattern. The model must replicate the cabinet’s actual dimensions, material properties, and typical solar-heat input so I can verify that delicate Moringa leaves stay within their safe drying band without hot spots.

You should work in ANSYS Fluent as long as mesh independence, radiation effects and transient solar loading are all captured. Once the baseline is validated, I would like you to visualise temperature contours at key sections, compare them against the 40 °C–60 °C target and, if needed, propose geometric or flow-rate adjustments that tighten the spread.

Deliverables
• 3-D CFD model file(s) with all boundary conditions and material libraries
• Mesh-independence proof and solver settings summary
• Temperature contour plots and numerical data for selected time steps
• Short report (PDF) explaining methodology, assumptions, results, and any design improvement recommendations

Acceptance Criteria
The final plots must clearly show that 95 % or more of the leaf-holding volume stays within the 40 °C–60 °C band during steady operation, with no zone exceeding 65 °C.
