Abstract
The study presents a mathematical model for the far-infrared vacuum drying of shrinking materials. The coupled heat- and mass-transfer equations, together with the appropriate initial and boundary conditions, were solved numerically using the finite-difference method. Based on these numerical solutions, the authors developed a computer program for calculating temperature profiles, transient and average moisture content, and material mid-plane temperature under different drying conditions. The model was verified using experimental data from the far-infrared vacuum drying of apple slices, showing very good agreement between the predicted and experimental results.
