“…So, the drying parameter, k and the drying exponent, n, were found as 0.083331 and 0.463331, respectively. Since it was reported that the drying parameter, k, is constant and not dependent on the temperature throughout the drying process (Pathak, Agrawal, & Singh, 1991a, 1991bWhite et al, 1981) and the drying exponent, n, is between 0 and 1 (Yagcıoglu, 1999); new values for drying exponent, n, were calculated with the help of Eq. (5) assuming drying parameter, k, was constant and equal to 0.083331 and using the values of MR at 10 min intervals.…”
