Mathemtical modeling of thin layer drying using open sun and shade of vernonia ameygadalina leaves

The drying behavior of Vernonia amygdalina leaves was investigated using open sun and shade drying. The effective diffusivity coefficients for both methods were evaluated. Eight drying kinetics models were fitted to the experimental data obtained from the two drying methods; the goodness of fit was...
