P. Bonneau et Jr. Puiggali, PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS AND BOUNDARY-COND ITIONS IN CONVECTIVE DRYINGPROCESS, Revue générale de thermique, 32(375-76), 1993, pp. 158-165
A model taking into account the heterogeneous character of a material
when modelling the drying process is proposed with the aim of treating
the coupling effects between the internal and external transfer resis
tances. A classical model, in fact obtained by an homogeneisation proc
edure of the previous one, is also presented. Numerical results comput
ed with the two models are presented and then comments are made concer
ning the use of heterogeneous model.
