RISConvective drying simulation of banana slabs considering non-isotropic shrinkage using FEM with the Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian method
The finite element method was employed to model the simultaneous heat and mass transfer in cylindrical samples of banana during convective drying. The Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) approach was implemented to incorporate the axial and radial...

The aim of the present work is the formulation of a theoretical model describing the simultaneous heat and mass transfer during convective drying. The system of unsteady state partial differential equations modeling the behavior of a cylindrical...
Three-dimensional analytical solution for transport problem during convection drying using Green's function method (GFM)
A three-dimensional analytical solution of transport problem of convection-drying is accomplished using Green's function method (GFM). Mass conservation, momentum and energy equations must be solved to obtain convective heat and mass transfer...
