Abstract / Description
This work is essentially an investigation of non-convective moisture movement as the result of a temperature gradient in hygroscopic porous materials, in particular, cocoa beans. The aim of the research has been to determine experimentally the bulk moisture diffusion coefficient for cocoa, and, by quantifying it, to investigate the contribution of such diffusion to wetting and mould damage that has occurred on the surface of cargoes during shipment from West Africa to Northern Europe.
