  31. <meta content="The paper describes paddy grain (rice) drying in a pneumatic conveyor where gas–particle heat and mass
  32. transfer occur simultaneously with transporting and drying operations. A one-dimensional macroscopic
  33. drying model of the overall bed incorporating mass and energy balances and drying kinetics of moisture
  34. diffusion inside the paddy grain is developed. The set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations is
  35. solved numerically to illustrate the evolution of moisture and temperature of the paddy grain and air stream
  36. throughout the dryer length. The effect of specific airflow rate, which depends on dryer diameter, paddy feed
  37. rate and inlet-air velocity on the final moisture content, and temperature of paddy grain and air stream is
  38. studied. The feasibility of paddy drying in a pneumatic conveyor is evaluated using the developed model. This
  39. device is found impractical for drying of hygroscopic material such as paddy grain because of the low solid
  40. residence time for dryers of reasonable size." name="eprints.abstract" />

  263. transfer occur simultaneously with transporting and drying operations. A one-dimensional macroscopic&#13;
  264. drying model of the overall bed incorporating mass and energy balances and drying kinetics of moisture&#13;
  265. diffusion inside the paddy grain is developed. The set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations is&#13;
  266. solved numerically to illustrate the evolution of moisture and temperature of the paddy grain and air stream&#13;
  267. throughout the dryer length. The effect of specific airflow rate, which depends on dryer diameter, paddy feed&#13;
  268. rate and inlet-air velocity on the final moisture content, and temperature of paddy grain and air stream is&#13;
  269. studied. The feasibility of paddy drying in a pneumatic conveyor is evaluated using the developed model. This&#13;
  270. device is found impractical for drying of hygroscopic material such as paddy grain because of the low solid&#13;
  271. residence time for dryers of reasonable size.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">The definitive version is available online at http://www.sciencedirect.com/</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Grain drying, heat and mass transfer, paddy drying</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/290501.html">290000 Engineering and Technology &gt; 290500 Mechanical and Industrial Engineering &gt; 290501 Mechanical Engineering</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">2241</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Dr Jane Sargison</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">22 Oct 2007 23:28</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=2241;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&amp;eprintid=2241">item control page</a></p>
