A sucroselactose-starch granulation was used to study particulate motion and attrition in a fluid bed dryer. There is some classification of material in the dryer as drying proceeds; fine particles are dried faster and become less dense, and the less dry but denser large particles show some (althoug

This paper describes the experiments used to determine the kinetics of tea drying. New thin layer drying apparatus was designed and built to measure the very high rates of drying found at the start of drying, and the results show that the Lewis equation satis"es. The drying rate constant proved to b
## Abstract Three sorts of apple (Idared, Golden Delicious and Jonathan) were dried in a laboratoryβtype fluidized bed dryer. Apples were cleaned, cored, peeled and cut into 10 Γ 10 Γ 10 mm cubes or into slices 5 Γ 3 mm thick and 40 mm long. A part of the samples was dipped for 3 min prior to dryin
