The experimental sorption data were fitted with generated three-parameter sorption isotherm models on Mitrevski et al., and the referent Anderson model known in the scientific and engineering literature as Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) model. In order to find which models give the best results, large number of numerical experiments was performed. After that, several statistical criteria for estimation and selection of the best sorption isotherm model was used. The performed statistical analysis shows that the generated three-parameter model from Mitrevski et al. gave the best fit to the sorption data of pear and quince than the\u0000referent three-parameter Anderson model.\u0000\u0000Keywords:\u0000Sorption isotherms\u0000Pear\u0000Quince\u0000Statistical criteria","PeriodicalId":196631,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THERMAL-FLUID ENGINEERING AND MODERN ENERGETICS","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127666993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
