Drying of Sisal Fiber: Three-Dimensional Mathematical Modeling and Simulation

Abstract:

This work presents a theoretical drying study of sisal fiber. Fibers with moisture content of around 11.2% were dried in an oven in the temperature 90°C. A transient and three-dimensional mathematical modeling to predict heat and mass transfer in a bed of fiber was proposed and numerically solved by using the finite-volume method. Results of the average moisture content and surface temperature were compared with experimental data to verify the consistence of the proposed model, and good agreement was verified.
