What is Falling Rate Period Drying?

The falling rate drying period is a stage in the drying process where the rate of moisture removal from the material decreases over time as the internal moisture content of the material is reduced. During this period, the drying rate is typically controlled by the rate of moisture diffusion within the material, which is slower than the rate of heat and mass transfer at the surface of the material. In this stage, the moisture content of the material decreases more slowly than during the constant rate drying period, as the remaining moisture is located deeper within the material and must diffuse to the surface before it can be removed. The length of the falling rate period depends on the properties of the material being dried, such as its porosity, particle size, and moisture distribution.
