Abstract

The experimental results on the drying of biological porous media (potato) are modeled using the Luikov equations, under simulate insolation conditions. The temperature of the environment was regulated, within the typical range corresponding to hot-temperature and rather wet climate (Argentina's Humid Pampa region). The comparison between measurements and calculations gave good agreement. The present study confirms independently the identification of several characteristic parameters of the product obtained under constant conditions in a previous work [1].
