DETERMINATION OF EFFECTIVE MOISTURE DIFFUSIVITY AND ACTIVATION ENERGY FOR DRYING OF POWDERED PEANUT SHELL UNDER ISOTHERMAL CONDITIONS

In this study, the effect of drying temperature, from 50 °C to 90 °C, on the drying characteristics of powdered peanut shell was investigated, and an isothermal procedure was used to determine the moisture diffusivity and the activation energy. All the experiments were performed using a thermogravim...
