Abstract:This paper discusses recent advances in cereal drying. It focuses on mathematical modeling of convective heat and mass transfer using air as the drying medium. The mathematical modeling of air distribution follows conservation of momentum and a constituent equation relatinng the velocity of air to its static pressure. The paper presents data obtained from a series of detailed wheat drying experiments. It is shown that the existing simulation models can be improved once the thin layer drying equation is uplated… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
