Özet
Rough rice has high moisture content at harvest, and if their moisture content is not reduced to about 12% on the dry basis they decay due to infestation and mold growth. Drying process is generally performed by heating ambient air and then sending it by forced convection over the rough rice to be dried. The aim in heating air to a certain temperature is to reduce the relative humidity of the air, which has a positive effect on the drying potential. In this study, drying behavior of single layer rough rice for different drying air temperature was simulated by means of a liquid diffusion model numerically by 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. Therefore, it can be concluded that performing drying with an intermittent period instead of continuous drying will cause a considerable energy-saving.
