Abstract

This work applies the Extended Kalman Filter for recursive identification of time-variant drying rate constant and derives the behavior of the effective diffusion coefficient during drying of yam (Dioscoreaceae rotundata). The identification concerns drying at different temperatures and shrinkage behavior is taken into account. The results show for the initial phase a decreasing drying rate constant, which remains almost constant during the rest of drying. The effective diffusion coefficient is related to the product moisture content at higher moisture contents and constant for lower moisture contents. Recursive identification proved to be a very effective algorithm to reveal time-dependent behavior of drying parameters and is essential to explain underlying mechanisms in drying kinetics.
