Title: Energy savings from air recirculation in peanut curing

Journal Article · · ASAE Tech. Pap.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5364268

A thin-layer peanut drying simulation model was adapted to incorporate air recirculation. Laboratory crop dryers were designed and constructed to conduct experiments to verify the model. Five batches of peanuts were dried using different recirculation strategies. The model successfully predicted the results.
