Evolution of shrinkage, real density, porosity, heat and mass transfer coefficients during indirect solar drying of cocoa beans
Drying is a main process of conservation used for cocoa beans and it is so essential to control its drying parameters. In this study, shrinkage, density, porosity, and heat and mass transfer coefficients of cocoa beans during indirect solar drying were investigated. The results showed that shrinkage...
