Justification, development of new technology and design for drying seeds of desert fodder plants

Abstract

Abstract Proposals for the development of highly efficient new resource and energy-saving technologies and designs for seed drying are substantiated in the paper-based on theoretical research and scientific results. The developed new improved design of a vacuum drying unit with a heat transfer fluid and a heat accumulator for drying seeds of desert fodder plants, a diagram of the energy storage process, an irradiation scheme using heat waves of a flat layer are substantiated and presented. The positive effect of external physical fields on drying processes is substantiated and determined by mathematical simulation and experimental methods. Design basics of drying equipment of desert fodder plant seeds are developed in analytical solutions based on numerical values of key parameters. Extensive information is provided on the previously obtained results of an analytical study and computer implementation of the developed advanced mathematical models; the solution to the problem of seed drying in an analytical form for non-stationary and stationary problems of the known system of A.V. Lykov differential equations are given.
