The objective of this study was to determine the effects of measuring errors on the accuracy of diffusion coefficient estimation as dependent on the method used. The estimation was based on a numerical solution of the inverse function, and inverse problem solving. The analysis concerned results of convective drying of faba bean seeds. The seeds, with an initial moisture content M0=0.240 kgwater/kgdb were dried at 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35°C. The results obtained in the study show that the method based on inverse problem solving is more effective at extreme moisture levels (Θ ≈ 0 and Θ ≈ Θk). This method, used for simulating successive replications, enables to acquire information not only on estimated values of the diffusion coefficient and measuring errors, but also on their distribution.
