Determination of the volumetric shrinkage in jatropha seeds during drying=Determinação da contração volumétrica dos grãos de pinhão-manso durante a secagem

The objective of this study was to determine the geometric diameter of volumetric shrinkage in Jatropha seeds subjected to drying under six air conditions and to fit different mathematical models to the experimental values. Seeds with an approximate initial moisture content of 0.61 kgw kgdm-1 (kilog...
