Modified Dincer and Dost Method for Predicting the Mass Transfer Coefficients in Solids

Coşkan ILICALI

The analytical model developed by Dincer and Dost [3] for the estimation of diffusivities and mass transfer coefficients has been reviewed, and the equations used for the evaluation of the mass transfer coefficients have been corrected. The corrected equations have been used for the calculation of mass transfer coefficients from literature data. It was observed that the corrected diffusivities showed significant differences from the previously calculated values. The use of the modified equations in future drying calculations will lead to more realistic mass transfer coefficient values. - Keyw ...Более
