Analytical solution of freeze-drying mathematical model based in Darcy's law: application to an orange juice-based cake
An analytical solution for moisture dynamic during freeze-drying based in non-ideal Darcy's law that resolves the singularity at zero time was deducted. The non-ideal Darcy's law is represented by a Darcy's pseudo permeability ( ) and a deviation index ( ). The analytical solution mus...

Summary: | An analytical solution for moisture dynamic during freeze-drying based in non-ideal Darcy's law that resolves the singularity at zero time was deducted. The non-ideal Darcy's law is represented by a Darcy's pseudo permeability (
) and a deviation index (
). The analytical solution must be complemented with a numerical solution of Fourier's equations for heat transfer in the two product zones. The model was fitted to experimental freeze-drying dynamics of an orange juice-based cake. The Darcy's pseudo permeability obtained was

with an ideal deviation index of
0.5. The proposed equations, solved with fitted Darcy pseudo permeability and ideal deviation index, reproduced other experimental freeze-drying dynamics of the same product at different temperatures. |
