CFD simulation of water diffusion in fruit drying: Case of apricot hemispheres

Food drying is a storage process during which the available water is removed. The present analysis conducted for three drying temperatures 45, 55 and 65 °C and the effective water diffusivity was estimated as 1.69×10-10, 2.91×10-10 and 6.67×10-10 m2/s. Comsol Multiphysics 4.3b was used to model the...
