Vibro-Fluidized Bed Drying of Pumpkin Seeds: Assessment of Mathematical and Artificial Neural Network Models for Drying Kinetics

Pumpkin seeds were dried in a vibro-fluidized bed dryer (VFBD) at different temperatures at optimized vibration intensity of 4.26 and 4 m/s air velocity. The drying characteristics were mapped employing semiempirical models and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Prediction of drying behavior of pumpki...
