    A mathematical model describing the coupled heat and mass transfer inside porous media during convective drying was established, based on thermodynamic theory. An experimental system had been established to validate the precision of dynamic mathematical model. The experimental data of moisture content and temperature inside potato were compared to the simulated values, showing a good agreement. Variation of moisture content and temperature distributions with drying time inside the product were analyzed by numerical study. Results show that the temperature distribution will affect the heat transfer coefficient, and mass transfer coefficient will directly influence on the drying rate. The influence of heat on mass transfer should be considered, on the contrary, the influence of mass transfer on heat can be neglected.
