A drying tube or guard tube is a tube-like piece of apparatus used to house a disposable solid desiccant. One end terminates in a ground glass joint.
Methane is insoluble in water, and it is less dense than air. Introduce moist methane via a delivery tube from one end of U shaped tube. The u shaped tube should contain fused calcium chloride. Dry methane can then be collected from the other end of the u shaped tube.
You could use a Red/Gray SST tube, or you could use a Green sodium heparin tube.
grey top tube is used for gtt
Green tube, lithium heparin.

A drying tube or guard tube is a tube-like piece of apparatus housing a disposable solid dessicant, at one end the tube-like structure terminates in ground glass to connect the drying tube to a reaction vessel, to keep the reaction vessel free of moisture. (Moisture which may adversely effect the reaction)

To hold test tubes when collecting powders or observing it :)
You can use air drying, an oven or an exsicator.
When you do a writeup on sun drying fruits and vegetables be sure to include information on how to prepare them for drying, such as do you peel tomatoes for drying or not, how to avoid insects from getting on you drying screens, and how to store and use them after drying.

Test tube racks are not sterile! Infact they are quite often some of the most contaminated lab tool. Therefore by using test tube racks to dry test tubes, you WILL contaminate your glassware, which will therefore corrupt any experimental data gathered with them. This is especially so in the areas of chemistry known as stochiometry and any prac in which temperature is an uncontrolled variable.
By drying ammonia, I guess you mean ammonia gas.. To dry ammonia gas you pass it through a drying tube of sorts filled with KOH or NaOH pellets. This method is for almost dry gas, if you are getting your ammonia gas from a ammonia/water solution you probably have to predry it with anhydrous sodium sulfate or some other sort of dessicant before you lead it through the KOH/NaOH pellet filled drying tube.
