Simulation of the multicomponent diffusion during the osmotic dehydration of apple: determination of the diffusion coefficients by the simplex method / <br> Simulação da difusão multicomponente durante a desidratação osmótica em maçã: determinação dos coeficientes de difusão pelo método simplex

Water loss and sugar gain were modeling during the osmotic dehydration process of cylinders of apple. The transfer of solute to the fruit and the water to the solution was based on Fick’s 2nd law generalized for simultaneous diffusion and solved by the finite element method using the software COMSOL...
