Abstract

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.

Simulation of deep-bed drying of Virginia peanuts to minimize energy use

Miscellaneous Kulasiri, G

A deep-bed drying model simulating the drying of peanuts in a fixed bed is required for designing energy-efficient and automatically controlled dryers. A deep-red drying model consists of a thin-layer drying model to calculate the moisture release from the material and a set of mass and energy balances. An experimental setup was constructed to determine drying rates of Virginia-type peanuts under 14 different drying air conditions. Selected empirical and semi-theoretical models available for modeling thin-layer drying rates were fitted to the collected data using nonlinear regression techniques. The modified Page's model and the two-term exponential model fitted the data bettermore »« less
Energy conservation by partial recirculation of peanut drying air

Conference Young, J - ASAE Tech. Pap.; (United States)

Conventional, recirculating, and intermittent type peanut dryers were compared in a three-year study. Comparisons indicate that partial recirculation of peanut drying air may reduce energy consumption per unit of water removed by approximately 25% while also reducing required drying time and maintaining high quality.
Design and control of energy efficient drying processes with specific reference to foods

Technical Report Franzen, K; Kim, M; Liang, H; ...

Progress made between January 1, 1988 and April 1, 1988 is described. With regard to Task 10 (Revision of Drying Models), phase one test data was reanalyzed in an effort to determine the effect of a total pressure driving force. Progress on Task 11 (Dryer Studies) included reassembly of the laboratory dryer developed in phase one. A laboratory scale vacuum tray dryer was constructed and several test runs were conducted on the dryer. The tray dryer will be used to simulate drum drying conditions. Progress on Task 12 (Food Quality Studies) included completion of a model to describe the ratemore »« less
Sunflower production, harvesting, drying and storage

Conference Hofman, V; Berglund, D; Hellevang, K - ASAE Publ.; (United States)

Sunflower, produced for its edible oil, has recently evolved as an important cash crop for the Dakotas and Minnesota. This oilseed crop has increased from 81,000 hectares in the mid-1960's to over 1,620,000 hectares in 1981. Over 90% of the sunflower crop planted in the United States is of oilseed varieties. Sunflower tends to fit well in small grain cropping rotation. Sunflower is planted after small grains in the spring and harvested in the fall, following small grain harvest. Planting of sunflower is recommended from May 20 to May 31. Soil temperature should be between 4/sup 0/C and 10/sup 0/Cmore »« less
Energy Efficient Clothes Dryer with IR Heating and Electrostatic Precipitator

Technical Report Weaver, Stanton

The project goal was to develop a revolutionary energy saving technology for residential clothes drying. The team developed an IR (infrared) heating system and NESP (Nebulizer and Electro-Static Precipitator) for integration into a ventless clothes dryer. The proposed technology addresses two of the major inefficiencies in current electric vented dryers by providing effective energy transfer for the removal of the water and recapture of the vapor latent heat. The IR heaters operating in the mid wave (2.5-10um) are very efficient as they target the 3-micron peak absorption of the water molecule. This allows direct energy absorption, unlike conventional element heatersmore »« less
