Simulation model on the potato as the samples on the dryer operation module with thickness variation

Abstract

Abstract During the COVID-19 virus impact on most areas in Indonesia, most of the teaching and research activities done at home. The idea to force the activity at home by giving the idea to research drying operation. It is the sample of how students can apply the drying operation at their home. The idea to dry the potato as the material sample was applied and have given the result the size or shape of the sample, the operation time and temperature impact the drying kinetics. As a result of drying at the open area and naturally were give the information has impacted the rate of drying. The type of shape was the most impacted in comparing the temperature and operation time.
