This work presents, the computational fluid dynamics simulation of a forced convection double air pass solar tunnel drying system to study the temperature distribution, the flow behaviour of the air stream, and the exergy performance. Realizable k-epsilon non-equilibrium wall function turbulence model, discrete ordinate radiation model, and species transport were used. The average temperature, thermal efficiency, and exergy efficiency were found to 59.2 oC, 30%, and 9.41%, respectively. The result revealed that the uniform temperature and velocity distribution throughout the heating and drying chamber. Therefore, the newly developed double air pass solar tunnel dryer enhances the air temperature and the exergy performance leads to the increment of drying rate and reduction of drying period.
