The purpose of this work is to identify a mathematical model of the drying kinetics of acacia Auriculiformis wood. The study focused on the phenomenon of heat and mass transfer of this wood in an indirect solar dryer already designed, with the influence of external parameters such as convection, sunshine, temperature, as well as humidity. middle. These are identified from measurements taken in the laboratory.

Keywords: modeling, acacia auriculifomis, drying, kinetics.
