In this paper, experimental investigation on convective drying of mixed municipal solid wastes was conducted. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of temperature, change in composition and par ticle size on the overall drying rate coefficient and mass transfer coefficient. Particle size of the samples was determined and mass losses recorded with time when the samples were dried using convective dryer. Mass losses were used to determine moisture content, drying rate coefficient and mass transfer coefficient. Exper imental results showing the effect of temperature, changes in the composition of organic waste and particle size were presented.
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.
