Abstract Predicts product temperature at the sublimation interface based on pseudo steady-state heat and mass transfer model

INPUT PARAMETERS:
Fill volume (mL)
Solids concentration (g/g)
Shelf heat transfer coefficient (cal/s/cm2/C)
Cross sectional area of the product in the vial (cm2)
Vial area calculated based on outside diameter (cm2)
Dry layer area normalized mass transfer resistance parameters: Rphat = R0 + A1 * l / (1 + A2 * l), where l is thickness of dry layer at any time (Torr*cm2*ht/g)
Shelf temperature (K)
Chamber pressure (Torr)

OUTPUT:
Temperature versus time chart
