Özet

In this study, drying behavior of single layer corn for different drying air temperature (40-70°C) and drying air velocity 2 ms-1 was simulated by means of a liquid diffusion model numerically by a finite element modeling and simulation software. The results show that temperature is an effective factor on the drying rate. The results also show that as drying proceeds, a moisture gradient develops within the grain. This slows down the drying rate considerably. In addition, the analysis shows that intermittent drying provides energy saving up to 40%-50% with respect to continuous drying. Therefore, it can be concluded that performing drying with an intermittent period instead of continuous drying will cause a considerable energy-saving. © 2015, Avestia Publishing.
