Abstract

This work aimed to study the of drying kinetics of Baccharis trimera subjected to different air temperatures and subsequent adjustment of experimental data to different mathematical models. To conduct the experiment were used for 6 trays drying, using the temperatures of 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 ºC. Was employed the experimental design of randomized blocks with three repetitions, of 800 g of fresh leaves in each tray. For the fit of mathematical models to experimental data analysis was performed non-linear regression by the Quasi-Newton method. The results showed that the model Midilli et al. made adjustment to the experimental data for the entire range of temperature studied (40 to 90 ºC), and, the Page model showed adequate fit to the experimental data only for the range of temperature from 60 to 90 ºC.
