Notes:
In this paper a distributed parameter model is proposed for the discontinuous drying operation of a tunnel-drier. This model is more complete than the previous ones in which continuous loading is currently assumed. The model is used for spherical fruits placed in a California tunnel of the parallel flow type. Numerical results are in good agreement with experimental information. The model can be used for optimum designing and automatic control.
