Abstract
The ventilation resistance of air flow through rice grain layers is one of the key parameters affecting drying uniformity as well as the energy consumption of the drying process. In order to reveal the variation of characteristics of the ventilation resistance with paddy grain moisture content, the air velocity and the bed layer depth are needed. A second order model was fitted to pressure drop using the response surface methodology and the results are compared with those of the Ergun model. The results showed that the pressure drop increases with the increase of paddy grain moisture content, air velocity and the bed layer depth, and the interactions between the air velocity and the bed layer depth have the most significant influence on the pressure drop. Moreover, a second-order polynomial pressure drop model based on RSM was established and compared with the Ergun model. The results showed that the pressure drop model established by RSM is similar to that of the Ergun model.
