Abstract
A mathematical model of the solar dryers designed and used in Cuba is presented and discussed. The model consists of a set of ordinary nonlinear differential equations which describe the behaviour of the main parts of the dryer. Using the model, an optimal control problem is formulated and solutions within the class of piecewise constant controls are numerically obtained. It is shown that controls which are constant over intervals of 24 hours have the best properties for application to drying plants.
