Mathematical methodologies for calculating the mass diffusion coefficient of bananas during drying Metodologias matemáticas para cálculo do coeficiente de difusão de massa de bananas durante o processo de secagem

In this work two mathematical methodologies to solve the diffusion differential equation related to the banana drying process were used in order to obtain the mass diffusion coefficient value. A simplified mathematical model was considered that was based on Fick's Law, with initial and boundary...
