“…The partial differential equation (p.d.e.) models for wheat storage with aeration were developed by Metzger [3] and Wilson [4]. The models simulated forced convective heat and moisture transfer in vertical direction, but the model was not validated.…”

A mathematical model based on the theory of heat and mass transfer in porous media was developed to simulate the evolution of grain temperature and moisture content in a wheat storage bin during ventilation with cooling air at the constant temperature and humidity. Unlike the previous works on this aspect, the present work was not focused on cooling the stored grain by ventilation with ambient air, but with the refrigerated air. Validation was performed by comparing between predicted and measured grain temperature and grain moisture content for two cases. Predicted data were in reasonable good agreement with measured ones. The model and the parameter values used in the model are applicable for predicting temperature and moisture of stored grains under ventilation conditions.

“…Many mathematical models have been developed to simulate the heat and the mass transfers in aerated bulk stored grains (Andrade, 2001;Canchun et al, 2001;Devilla, 2002;Sinício et al, 1997;Thorpe, 1997;Wilson, 1988). Many studies have also been conducted to predict the temperature and moisture content variation in stored grain without aeration (Alagusundaran et al, 1990;Davidson, 1986;Muir et al, 1980;Sinício et al, 1997;Thorpe and Elder, 1982;White, 1988).…”
