Abstract: | Numerical and experimental results of moisture transfer in drying process for apple and potato slices are compared in this study. Experimental results are obtained using a cyclone type dryer. Two-dimensional analysis of heat and moisture transfer during drying of objects is carried out solving heat and mass equations using finite-volume approach. Thus, moisture distributions inside the moist objects are obtained at different time steps. Comparison of results showed that there is a considerably high agreement between experimentally measured data and predicted values. Moist distribution also presented inside the products at different time periods. |
