It should be noted that for "adequate" drying M21 = 0. The above equations are expressed in a specific form for

each particular case.

Let us consider the case of stea dy-stat e drying of fruit in dryers with multirow transportation of the material

by belt conveyers. The material is loaded onto the belt in a bed of thickness h, and in the transportation process

it is blown from above by a heat transfer agent, which is conditioned air in this case. The technological scheme of

drying requires that the equations be composed for the plane problem (x, y), where the x axis corresponds to the

direction of movement of the conveyer belt and t he y axis corresponds to that of motion of the heat transf er agent.

For this scheme the system of basic equations (1)-(3) has the form

0 0

B 1 + B2 = 1, ~xx (/91 B1 U l x ) = - M12, 0y (P2 B2 U2y) = M12,

0 0

0x [Pl B1 (1 - W1) U l x ] = 0, ~y [,02 B2 (1 - W2) U 2y ] = 0,

Since the material to be dried is carried by the conveyer with the velocity U l x with the aid of a mechanical drive,

the equation of motion for the first phase is eliminated. Commercial operation of this type of drye r has shown thatthe aer odynamic resistance of the bed of material is low. Therefore, the equation of motion for the second phase

is not important. Nevertheles, the structure of the bed should be well known, since it affects substantially the heat

and mass transfer characteristics.

Before drying, fruits are cut into circular slices. In loading the cut material onto the conveyer belt, the

stable position of an individual element in the filling will most likely be arbit rary. Therefore, a ny spatial o rientation

of this individual element is possible. The structure of the bed must include two limiting cases of orientation -

vertical and horizontal, bo th of which are equiprobable. If the bed is composed of units located only in these limiting

positions, the accounting for their equiprobability will result in the scheme shown in the left-hand side of Fig. 1.
