Drying Kinetics of a Single Biomass Particle Using Fick’s Second Law of Diffusion

Drying has been widely studied as a necessary process in biomass utilization. The steam diffusion law plays an important role drying kinetics. kinetics of single particle using Fick’s second was this paper. A parabolic relationship appeared between the critical moisture content and temperature. decreased with increase temperature initial content. had significant effect on effective diffusivity coefficient mass transfer during dramatically falling period process. However, it affected by slowly period. caused opposite different periods. normalized generally increased temperature, rising Meanwhile, whole negative relevant relationship. This study provides some valuable conclusions regarding
