Abstract
► A computational model was developed to predict the convective drying process of prunes. ► The model describes the coupled transfer of momentum, heat and mass both in air and food. ► The predicted results agree well with the experimental data. ► It was shown to identify the key operational parameters affecting the drying process. ► The model can be used as a tool in optimising the design and operation of drying systems.
