Microprocessor Controlled Low Temperature Grain Drying
… based controller capable of optimizing the drying process in a low temperature corn drying bin by controlling the drying fan operation. A procedure was developed to predict the moisture profile in a drying bin based on the measured temperature profile. This procedure was incorporated into a …

Development and evaluation of a wood furnace for grain drying
… wood furnaces for thermal energy application in grain dryers is common in Brazil, however, contaminations of the products and environmental effects due to incomplete combustion and its excessive use in drying are major challenges. In this study, a wood furnace was designed, build and its …

THE INTERACTION OF ACID-PRESERVATION OF WHEAT OR BARLEY, WITH OR WITHOUT ENZYMES, AND PARTICLE SIZE ON WEANLING PIG PERFORMANCE AND GUT HEALTH
Low-quality high-moisture grains may be preserved by acidification as an alternative to artificial drying. Because weanling pig diets are commonly acidified to help the weaning transition, these series of experiments were conducted to determine whether the benefits of acidification are maintained …

A study of the effect of temperature and relative humidity on the drying rate and equilibrium moisture content of hay
… annual hay crop were lost or damaged. Hay and grain drying by forced ventilation has been practiced successfully by farmers in the Southeast for the past decade. At the close of the 1948 hay drying season, there were 500 driers in operation on Virginia farms. Available data on the analysis of a …

Primary Driving Force in Wood Vacuum Drying
… is the primary driving force during the vacuum drying. The theoretical drying rates of diffusion, free water bulk flow and water vapor bulk flow were calculated and compared. The concept of equilibrium moisture content under the vacuum was developed. The theoretical maximum moisture content drop …
