External Heat-and-Mass Transfer during Drying of Packed Birch Peeled Veneer

External heat-and-mass transfer during filtration drying of packed birch peeled veneer has been investigated. The dependence of heat-and-mass transfer coefficients on actual speed of heat agent filtration has been determined for dry and wet veneer sheets. The effect of heat agent temperature on the values of diffusive, heat and hydrodynamic boundary layers, and as a result, on heat-and-mass transfer intensity has been established by the experiments during filtration drying of packed veneer.

Diffusive Mass Transfer during Drying of Grinded Sunflower Stalks

Diffusive mass transfer has been studied during drying of grinded sunflower stalks to produce fuel briquettes. Theoretical aspects of diffusive processes during filtration drying have been analyzed. The process of diffusive mass transfer during drying of grinded sunflower stalks particles of prismatic shape has been mathematically described. The temperature effect on effective diffusion coefficient has been examined.
