THROUGH‐CIRCULATION DRYING OF TAPIOCA ROOT
SUMMARY— The drying characteristics of fresh/y harvested tapioca root (Manihot utilissima Pohl) from Posadas, Argentina, have been investigated in a laboratory through‐circulation dryer. Variables studied were bed depth (2‐12 cm), air velocity (2,300‐5,200 kg/(hr)(sq meter), and air temperature (55—...

Straight lines are obtained plotting on semilogarithmic paper the nondimensional moisture content (W‐We) (Wo‐We) against time. This allows deduction that a diffusional mechanism is controlling the drying rate. Factors to be considered in the design of a continuous through‐circulation dryer are given.
