Grape pomace components (seed and skin) were separated in a fluidized bed system based on their aerodynamic behavior. The Weibull equation was used to explain the elutriation history. Seed dehydration was characterized by a first period of constant drying rate and a second period in which drying rate decreased following Fick's liquid molecular diffusion model. The order of magnitude of heat and mass transfer parameters, both internal and external, was similar to those reported in the literature.
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.
