What is Constant Rate Drying Period?

The constant rate drying period is a stage in the drying process where the rate of moisture removal from the material is constant and is determined by the drying conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and airflow. During this period, the moisture on the surface of the material is rapidly removed, resulting in a steep decline in the moisture content of the material.
