Heat and mass transfer between air and soybean seeds in a crossflow moving bed.

Author(s) : BAROZZO M. A. S., HENRIQUE H. M., SARTORI D. J. M., FREIRE J. T.

Summary

The analysis technique chosen was based on modeling from mass and energy conservation equations to the fluid and particulate phase. The equilibrium, heat transfer and mass transfer equations were taken from specific studies. The equation representing the drying kinetics was obtained by means of a thin layer study, whereas the equilibrium equation was chosen from rival model discrimination, based on nonlinearity measures. Hence, the model parameters are defined by the respective studies. The experimental part of the work involved the determination of the fluid temperature distribution; the grain moisture throughout the bed and the air humidity at the bed outlet. The simulation results showed good agreement when compared with the experimental data.
