    A diffusion based model for intermittent drying of rough rice
    (Springer, 2008) Cihan, Ahmet; Kahveci, Kamil; Hacihafizoglu, Oktay; de Lima, Antonio G. B.
    In this study, intermittent drying behavior of single layer rough rice with a moisture content of between 22 and 24% on the dry basis was simulated by means of a liquid diffusion model based on a prolate spheroid geometry. For this purpose, solution of the liquid diffusion equation was fitted to the experimental data for the drying air temperature 40 degrees C, drying velocity 1.5 ms(-1) and tempering periods ranging from 0 to 1 h. In order to make a comparison, solution of the liquid diffusion equation for a finite cylindrical geometry was also fitted to the experimental data. The results show that the liquid diffusion model based on a prolate spheroid geometry explains the drying behavior of rough rice more accurately. The results also show that greater variations occur in diffusion coefficient with increasing tempering time for prolate spheroid geometry which is more realistic geometry for a rough rice grain.

    A liquid diffusion model for thin-layer drying of rough rice
    (Springer, 2008) Hacihafizoglu, Oktay; Cihan, Ahmet; Kahveci, Kamil; de Lima, Antonio G. B.
    In this study, the drying behavior of single-layer rough rice with a moisture content of between 22 and 24% on the dry basis was simulated by means of a liquid diffusion model, based on a prolate spheroid geometry. For this purpose, the solution of liquid diffusion equation was fitted to the experimental moisture ratios for drying air temperatures between 40 and 60 degrees C and velocity 1.5 m s(-1). In order to make a comparison, the predictions of liquid diffusion equations for a spherical and finite cylindrical geometry were also fitted to the experimental results. Modeling was performed by selecting the diffusion coefficients in diffusion equations in such a manner as to minimize the sum of the squared differences between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions. It was found that the liquid diffusion model, based on a prolate spheroid geometry, explains single-layer drying behavior of rough rice well. It was also found that the model, based on a prolate spheroid geometry, has better agreement with the experimental results than the other geometries.
