Abstract

Mathematical modeling of grain drying is now extensively used in agricultural engineering research. Numerous models have been proposed to describe the heat and mass transfer processes in the elementary types of convective grain drier, namely fixed bed, cross-flow, concurrent-flow and counter-flow. There is extensive prose concerned with the general area of drying in the field of process engineering. It is significant, with an ever-increasing demand for the precise modeling of compound drying systems, for the researcher to recognize the basic assumptions in the various models and hereafter to be aware of the limitations in using them. However, most of this prose accentuates with 'equilibrium' exchange processes and not with the problems of obtaining a detailed description of the product state at all points throughout the drier over the duration of drying. The main influence of this review is the demonstration of some of the partial differential equation (p.d.e.) models which have been used by agricultural engineers incomplete simulations of deep bed drying Several types of mathematical models have been developed to describe the heat and mass transfer processes in grain drying. The present paper primarily emphasizes the description of these processes in deep bed drying
