Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A simultaneous heat and mass transfer model for convective drying of moist food materials has been developed. Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems are taken for the analysis, as food materials dried in industries are of different shapes. The governing transient partial differential equations describing heat and mass transfer are discretized, using the finite difference method, and sets of algebraic equations are obtained. The diffusion coefficient is a temperature function, and, therefore, the heat and moisture transfer equations are solved simultaneously. A MATLAB computer code is developed to solve them. Transient temperature and moisture profiles during convective drying are estimated. The present results are compared with the existing experimental data, and it is observed that there is good agreement.
