Abstract:Shrinkage parameters of highly shrinkable materials such as length, diameter and surface area during drying are difficult to quantify in situ. However, these are significant components of an accurate model. In this study, an attempt to isolate the surface area effect is reported in order to fetch the REA model (reaction engineering approach) parameters without knowing it a priori. Carrot cube and cabbage leaf were selected as experimental material and dried with hot air under a range of conditions. Shrinkages … Show more
