Abstract
Drying is an operation which involves simultaneous heat and mass
transfer, Hence there is a need for the evaluation of various transport
parameters which are useful in the design of commercial dryers. Therefore,
the di@sivity coeficient at different temperatures (323-353 K) was
evaluated for toria (Brassica campistris var. toria) seeds. Initially, the
equilibrium moisture content-relative humidity (EMC-RH) data were
measured, and the results are reported in the form of Henderson’s
equation. The characteristic drying rate curve was obtained by measuring
the moisture present afrer different times. The diffusivity coefficient was
calculated ffom the above data in the falling rate zone, and the effect of
temperature on the difisivity coeficient was described by an Arrheniustype
