Drying and storage of cereal grains / B.K. Bala. - Second edition. - Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom : . Wiley Blackwell, c2017. - xv, 335 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Principles of drying -- Moisture contents and equilibrium moisture content models -- Psychrometry -- Physical and thermal properties of cereal grains -- Airflow resistance and fans -- Thin layer drying of cereal grains -- Deep-Bed and continuous flow drying -- Grain drying systems -- Principles of storage -- Temperature and moisture changes during storage -- Fungi, insects and other organisms associated with stored grain -- Design of storages -- Grain storage systems -- Appendix A: Finite difference approximation -- Appendix B: Gaussian Elimination method -- Appendix C: Finite element method -- Appendix D: Computational fluid dynamics.
"Drying and Storage of Cereal Grains, Second Edition, covers the wide spectrum of drying and storage methods applied to economically important cereal produce, providing numerical examples for better understanding the complexity in drying and storage systems through modeling and simulation, aiding design and management of such systems. Chapters 1 to 8 look at air and grain moisture equilibria, psychrometry, physical and thermal properties of cereal grains and principles of air flow and provide detailed analyses of grain drying. Chapters 9 to 13 focus on temperature and moisture in grain storages and provide comprehensive treatment of modern grain storage systems. The book also includes a number of unsolved problems at the end of each chapter for further practice.
This revised second edition includes new section on:
Heat of sorption
Finite element modelling of single kernel
SFD modelling of fluidized bed drying
Exergy analysis and neural network modelling
Numerical solution of two-dimensional temperature and moisture changes in stored grain
This book will provide students in agricultural engineering and food engineering with a wide spectrum of drying and storage studies previously unavailable in a single monograph. It will also serve as an excellent reference for practicing agricultural engineers, food engineers and food technologists."--Back cover
