Mechanism in Drying

Drying is governed by principles of

transport of heat and mass.

It is a diffusional process in which the

transfer of moisture to the surrounding
medium takes place by the evaporation of
surface moisture

And as soon as some of the surface

moisture vaporizes, more moisture is
transported from interior of the solid to its
surface.
