A numerical model for non-steady heat and mass transfer during convective drying of
cylindrical quince slices, with axis parallel to the air flow, is developed. The model is based …

The objective of the current study is to examine experimentally the thin-layer drying behavior
of quince slices as a function of drying conditions. In a laboratory thermal convective dryer …
