ResumenSe determina experimentalmente la cinética de secado de muestras de cajuil (anacardium occidentale l.) en rebanadas de 4, 7 y 10 x 10 -3 m de espesor. Se utilizó un secador de laboratorio tipo bandeja, en donde se imponen las temperaturas y velocidades del aire para el secado dentro de los rangos 60 a 80 ºC y 3 a 5 m/s, respectivamente. Se determina el perfil de contenido de humedad en la muestra respecto al tiempo de secado. Se aplican once modelos matemáticos disponible en la literatura para determinar el que correlacione los datos experimentales. De los resultados y de su análisis se establece que el modelo de Page es el más adecuado por la simplicidad con que relaciona el contenido de humedad con las variables temperatura y velocidad del aire de secado.Palabras clave: secado, cajuil, anacardium occidentale l., modelos de secado, humedad Drying of Cashew (anacardium occidentale l.): Experimental Study and Drying Kinetics Modeling AbstractThe drying kinetics of sliced cashew (anacardium occidentale l.) has been experimentally studied. Samples of 4, 7 and 10 x 10 -3 m thick were used. A laboratory tray type dryer was employed and air at temperatures in the range 60 to 80 ° C and velocity from 3 to 5 m/s were imposed. The moisture content profile in the sample with respect to drying time was measured. Eleven mathematical models available in the literature were applied to determine which of the model is the best one in correlating the experimental data. The results indicate that the model of Page is the most adequate due to its simplicity for relating the moisture content and the variables temperature and drying air velocity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
