𝛽𝛽 = 𝛼𝛼 βˆ— 𝐿𝐿𝑅𝑅 𝜌𝜌 βˆ— 𝑐𝑐𝑝𝑝 Eq. (5) with considering the empiric Lewis-factor 𝐿𝐿𝑅𝑅. Furthermore, properties of the drying product needs to be provided as input parameters. Property data like heat capacity for liquid water is provided by a temperature and pressure dependent object class. However, for the moist air two of these object classes are utilized to consider the special conditions in the drying chamber: One pressure and enthalpy dependent moist air object that represents the incoming dry and hot air and one pressure and temperature dependent air object that calculates the property data of the moist air directly at the surface of the drying product. It is assumed that the air on the product surface features the same temperature as the product and is considered as saturated air with a relative humidity of 100 %. Combining the quantities ouοΏ½tlined above, the mass flow rate for the water that is being removed of the product over the time can be calculated, based on film theory for mass transfer (H.D. & K., 2003): 𝑀𝑀 𝑝𝑝 Eq.

The activity factor is characteristic for each type of product and needs to be measured. For the drying chamber model, the usual energy and mass balances are augmented with equation (7), which considers the progress of the drying: π‘‘π‘‘π‘šπ‘š Eq.

That way, the standalone cell can be universally implemented in both open-loop or closed-loop drying processes. 2.2 Validation of the model The model for the drying chamber is validated against measurement data which was provided by Innotech GmbH, a German manufacturer of drying systems. The validation is conducted with two types of measurement data sets, which differ in the general scaling of the drying processes. The model was provided with measured input parameters for the inlet relative humidity, the air velocity in the drying chamber and the inlet temperature of the moist air according Table 1.
