A drying model for three-dimensional shrinking bodies

A mathematical model to predict the drying kinetics of shrinking bodies was proposed, assuming unidirectional drying and three-dimensional shrinkage. The differential equation for mass transfer in a finite slab was solved, using boundary conditions of the first kind. The model was numerically solved...
