Characteristic Drying Rate Curve

Extensive work has been done in developing theories of drying, such as the theory of simultaneous transport, theories involving flow through porous media, and simplified models, like the wetted surface model and the receding-plane model. The characteristic drying rate curve has also found use in design. Details of these theories are available in Refs. [3,13,17,26].

Further information on the characteristic drying curve, extrapolation procedures used, and the theoretical developments in examining the range of validity of the characteristic drying rate model are available [3,13,25]. The various types of characteristic drying curves have been depicted schematically in Figure 1.16.
