Study of the drying kinetics and calculation of mass transfer properties in hot air drying of Cynara cardunculus

In the present work, mass transfer properties of thistle flower (Cynara cardunculus L.) were evaluated for the convective drying carried out at temperatures between 35 and 65°C, with an air flow of 0.5 m/s. The calculations followed two different algorithms, based on mathematical models derived from...
