Аннотация:Abstract This is the second of two papers concerning conjugate transport in convective drying of multiparticle systems. In the first paper (part 1), a solution methodology for conjugate transport problems was porposed and successfully tested for assemblages of spheres. This paper deals with the application of the proposed methodology to a soybean drying problem. The analysis in this study allowed certain phenomena, that are usually not present in single-kernel and deep-bed drying analyses, to be captured by the drying rate curves. The results presented here reinforce the need to take into account particle interactions when studying the drying mechanisms of multiparticle systems.
