Resumo:This dissertation focus on the control system design of a for indirect solar dryer without any difficulty of utilization with low cost and autonomous. The intended interest group of this model is small farmers who don't have the cash-flow to put resources into new drying innovations however need basic and modest machines to contend in the current market for nuts. In the present work, a multivariable control system using DHT22, BMP280 sensors to measure the drying process parameters of the fig. The Bernoulli equation was established in the Arduino program to calculate the air velocity. The valves designed based on servo motor DS3225. Then, the control of the position of the valve based on the measured sensor parameters and the conditions of the drying process. And for sending the data in real-time to the farmers, the IoT technology was used by the combination of the GSM/GRPS module with the Arduino UNO board. Then, the Blynk application was used to visualize the data, and the ThingSpeak IoT platform for saving the data and analyses the quality of the drying prosses. More than visualization the data in the Blynk application, a notification was added for the farmers in the case of start drying process and overheating condition. According to the outcomes of the Proteus simulation which have been shown by the Blynk application and the ThingSpeak IoT platform, it can conclude that the design of the control system is successfully done.
