Abstract:This investigation explores the effectiveness of hot air-drying and ambient ventilation techniques in enhancing the storage quality of Khao Dok Mali 105 paddy rice within small-scale barns in Northeast Thailand. Through comprehensive analysis of moisture and temperature dynamics, the research revealed that an optimized main air pipe system significantly reduces moisture content from 25% db to a desirable 16% db, outperforming alternative systems. Spatial assessments within the barn highlighted the importance o… Show more
