Increasing the drying temperature or the velocity of the drying air decreases the total drying time. In particular, an increase from 40 1C to 60 1C in temperature, at 2ms1 drying velocity resulted to a decrease of the total time of drying of about 54%.On the other hand at air drying temperature of 60 1C, an increase from 1ms1 to 2ms1 in drying velocity resulted to a decrease of the total time of drying of about 30%.
