Although drying of timber in flat collector solar furnaces takes more time than conventional drying, energy costs are low and there are no negative environmental effects. In this study, the selection of building materials and design type to be used in the design of solar furnaces was evaluated in terms of thermal properties. Materials with different thermal capacities create different thermal properties in different designs. Therefore, it is possible to control the course of the temperature distribution in the solar timber drying oven throughout the day with the choice of different building materials and design forms.}, number={5}, publisher={Bülent VEREP}
