Shape characterization for diffusional analysis of corn drying

The thin-layer drying of corn was analyzed in terms of Fick's second law for diffusion. For spherical kernels (sphericity 0.98) Fick's law for diffusion out of a sphere was found appropriate model experimental drying curves. The diffusion coefficients deter mined by means of this equation...
