Abstract
The deep bed drying modelling of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) have been studied by considering the deep bed as a series of thin layers. A partial differential equations model has been developed to simulate heat and mass transfer in fixed deep bed hazelnut dryers. The computer program developed permits the calculation of temperature and moisture content profiles along the dryer. As a process of validation of the model, the predicted and experimental results of average moisture content of the whole bed were compared. It has been observed that the simulation results agreed quite well with experimental data.
