A. I. Ol'shanskii and V. I. Ol'shanskii UDC 66.047.37 The laws governing the change in heat fluxes and mean integral temperatures in the period of the falling rate of drying have been established. Experimental dependences for the rate of heating a moist body and for the coefficient of temperature distribution nonuniformity in a moist body have been obtained. Keywords: Kondratiev number, Biot number, thermal diffusivity, rate of heating a moist body, heat transfer coefficient, mean integral temperature.
