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

- transfer occur simultaneously with transporting and drying operations. A one-dimensional macroscopic
- drying model of the overall bed incorporating mass and energy balances and drying kinetics of moisture
- diffusion inside the paddy grain is developed. The set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations is
- solved numerically to illustrate the evolution of moisture and temperature of the paddy grain and air stream
- throughout the dryer length. The effect of specific airflow rate, which depends on dryer diameter, paddy feed
- rate and inlet-air velocity on the final moisture content, and temperature of paddy grain and air stream is
- studied. The feasibility of paddy drying in a pneumatic conveyor is evaluated using the developed model. This
- device is found impractical for drying of hygroscopic material such as paddy grain because of the low solid
- 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 > 290500 Mechanical and Industrial Engineering > 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&eprintid=2241">item control page</a></p>
