Determination of the drying speed in thin layer of shrimp

This survey consists in determining the drying speed in thin layer of non shelled shrimp with the help of a climatic chamber. The experiences made permitted to elaborate a universal model. The considered parameters are the drying air temperature, the product absolute humidity as well as the drying air relative humidity and its speed. The adsorption curve of the product is also established. The model is validated through confrontation between experimental and theoretical results.
