The turbulence effect of the airflow on the calorific losses in foodstuff dryers

The calorific losses through the sidewalls delay drying, particularly in the higher racks of the foodstuff dryers, which provide us information on total drying time. One notes a temperature gradient of the air during its circulation upwards, between the entry and the exit of the empty dryer. This gradient is more significant with the decrease of the air velocity.
