MODELING OF MICROWAVE DRYING PROCESS WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO DRYING KINETICS

Thin-layer models have found wide application due to their ease of use and lack of required data, such as phenomenological and coupling coefficients, as in complex theoretical models. This study was undertaken to study the thin layer modeling of the microwave drying of porous media. The drying rate was taken from lagrangian differentiation technique based on five consecutive data points. Analytical solutions are obtained for a number of problems of heat transfer in potato samples. The model proposed adequately describes the real processes.
