TL;DR: In this paper, heat and mass transfer of fruit leather drying with combination of hot air and far-infrared has been carried out, and the heat and the mass transfer coefficients were analyzed by heat-mass analogy.

TL;DR: In this article, a model is presented to account for reduced mass transfer to drops falling through a continuous phase which contains a surface active agent, where fluid flow patterns are essentially laminar.
Abstract: A model is presented to account for reduced mass transfer to drops falling through a continuous phase which contains a surface active agent. The fluid flow patterns are essentially laminar. The reduction in mass transfer is said to be due to a reduction in available interfacial transfer area and to changes in both velocity and pattern of internal circulation. These are shown to be functions of contact time and can be characterized. Experimental values agreed with the theoretically predicted ones with a deviation of less than 10%.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-equilibrium irreversible thermodynamics, macroscopic laws of conservation, and the liquid-vapor equilibrium of a porous system are used to describe the history of moisture migration in porous media.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of temperature, solution composition, and agitation speed on the mass transfer kinetics of osmotically dehydrated tomato halves was studied using a first-order kinetic equation, by way of an empirical parameter representing an overall mass transfer coefficient.
