The mathematical formulation of mass transfer in drying processes is often based on the diffusion equation. In principle the diffusion coefficient as a function of moisture content has to be determined experimentally. The most direct approach is to derive the diffusion coefficient from experimental

This article presents an effective analytical model for determining the moisture diffusivities and moisture transfer coefficients for solid objects (namely, infinite slab, infinite cylinder, sphere; and also for irregularly shaped objects, by using a shape factor) subject to drying applications in a
Drying induced shrinkage stresses of a two-dimensional rectangular brick of aspect ratio 2 is studied numerically. The drying of brick is analysed as a conjugate problem. The conservation equations for the solid are obtained using continuum approach and the Navier}Stokes equations have been solved f
