Energy efficiency investigation of intermittent paddy rice dryer: Modeling and experimental study
Food and Bioproducts Processing（2015）
Abstract
•Temperature and drying duration were manipulated to optimize the energy consumption.•Moisture distribution within the grains was analytically obtained.•A correlation for moisture diffusivity was proposed and used based on experimental data.•Employing the tempering stages substantially reduces the energy consumption.•First drying stage was found to be the longest stage with a moderate temperature.
