Deformation of Potato during Convective Drying

Article Preview

Abstract:

Deformation of potato is estimated by experimentally during convective drying. Size of the potato slice is 4cm x 2cm x 2cm. The percentage changes in length, breadth and width of potato are estimated during drying. Shrinkage of the object during drying is estimated. Air velocity chosen for this present analysis is 2 m/s and the range of air temperature is selected as 40 to 70 °C. The product experiences the maximum dimension changes upto 30% in length and 47.5 % in both breadth and width wise. The parameters are non dimensionalised to get generic solution.
