Abstract
In this work equilibrium and kinetic data for the drying of tobacco stems a re presented, which are of great importance for further processing in the m anufacture of cigarettes. For three different types of stems sorption isoth erms, Luikov's values, diffusivities and estimated drying time were determi ned. The analysis of the process included also mass and heat balances.
