Abstract

Research of the Characteristic Dimension of the Transfers during the Convective Drying of the Sweet Potato for the Parallelepipedic and Spherical Shapes

Highlights

  • The drying of agrifood products is taking on a considerable scale [1] [2]

  • The same thickness e = 1 cm is set for all the samples while the lengths and the widths L × l vary for the purposes of experiments

  • The results show that the differences between the curves are minimal, going close to zero (0) kge/kgms for the most repetitive ones to 0.109 obtained, as the worst case, for samples 1 and 2 of the parallelepipedal samples P_L = 4 − l = 2 − e = 1 at the 161st minute of drying

Summary

Introduction

The drying of agrifood products is taking on a considerable scale [1] [2]. The quality of the finished product often leaves something to be desired [3]. It is uncommon to see micro-drying enterprises with uniform stocks of dried products. These problems which plague the development of the field of drying are a consequence of the failure to master transfers during drying [4] [5] [6]. Multiple parameters complicate the evaluation of transfers. We distinguish the external parameters [7] [8], especially related to the drying environment [9]
