- •
Drying kinetics of Granny Smith apple is determined by TGA at isothermal conditions.
- •
A model to predict the drying curve at variable conditions is presented.
- •
The model is experimentally validated with TGA tests showing excellent agreement.
- •
The model is applied to predict the drying curve in indirect solar drying processes.
- •
Experiments in a lab-scale indirect solar dryer are used to validate the model.
