Abstract: A fabric drying cabinet has been developed for domestic use. The concept came into been due to less available solar energy for fabric drying during prolong wet season between May and October every year in Nigeria. Many baby wears during this period need frequent wash and dried for use. Hence the design of a portable fabric cabinet dryer based on the principles of heat transfer and turbulent airflow. The drying chamber was designed to be 0.420 m3 , electric motor power of 1kW, volumetric air flow of 47.52m3 /s, fan’s velocity pressure of 185.6N/m2 with the system designed having total energy of 6.48 x 106 joules and useful energy of 5.6376 x 106 joules while the waste energy is 0.8424 x 106 joules.
