The main goal was to apply different modeling approaches to predict moisture content and drying rates in the drying of leaves, and obtaining an overview on the subject. Experiments were carried out in a convective horizontal flow dryer in which samples were placed parallel to the air stream under operating conditions of air temperatures from 36 to 64°C, air velocities from 1.0 to 2.0 m s-1 and sample loads from 18 to 42 g, corresponding to sample heights of 1.4, 1.7 and 3.5 cm respectively. A complete 33 experimental design was used. Results have shown that the three methodologies employed in this work were complementary in the sense that they simultaneously provided a better understanding of leaves drying. 2014 artículo científico 1806-2563 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=303230170011 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3032 Acta Scientiarum.
