This paper presents a comprehensive review of thin-layer drying-curve models available in
the literature and their comparisons for single-layer drying applications from 2003 to 2013. In …

A hybrid solar-biomass fluidized bed drying system was designed, evaluated and
developed. The system was comprised of a fluidized bed, a solar collector, and a biomass …

Energy consumption is one of the major parameters necessary to design any process
equipment. Drying is a thermodynamic process used to control moisture concentration in the …

Highlights Fluidized bed drying of rice has several advantages that outweigh its
disadvantages. Increasing the drying temperature above 60° C could reduce rice quality …

Drying kinetic model of paddy at specific drying time under different capacities drying
conditions were studied under swirling fluidized bed (SFB) dryer. The drying was performed …

The present study is aimed to examine the drying of paddy to a moisture level of 12% wet
basis using a microwave-assisted fluidized bed dryer. The experiments were designed and …

This study aimed to investigate how infrared (1000–2000 W) and microwave power (100–
900 W), air velocity (1–5 m/s) and temperature (40–80° C) affected the specific energy …

In this work, the effect of fluidized bed dryer under different fluidization regimes and
temperature on drying time and quality properties of rice has been investigated. To predict …

This study aims to investigate the drying kinetics, energy analysis and milling performance of
two common rice varieties namely BRRI-28 and BR-16 by two stage drying. Parboiled paddy …

This paper attempts to analyze the kinetics involved in the drying of green peas in 'with
blanching'and 'without blanching'techniques. Blanching by hot water mixed with a solution of …
