The quality of a dried food product depends on the drying conditions and the technique used. A solar dryer of tunnel type has been designed for the drying of certain food products. We will evaluate in this work, the thermo-hydric behavior of this dryer in a first phase with no load and in a second phase, filled with slices of meat in thin strips during the drying. The drying kinetics of the thin strips of meat slices obtained experimentally are compared with a drying characteristic curve model (DCC). The comparison of the results of the drying characteristic curve model (DCC), and those found experimentally is satisfactory, with R2 is close to 1, MSE and RMSE are low values near 0.
