Grains - Engineering Fundamentals of Drying and Storage

This book is the first to describe physical and thermal properties of bulk grains; water status, hysteresis, isotherm of grain bulks during desorption (drying) and sorption (wetting, soaking); principles of aeration, drying, and wetting. It covers the origin, development, and application of mathematical models in grain storage and drying.

List of contents

Physical Properties of Bulk Grain. Thermal Properties and Temperatures in Grain Bulks. Water in Biomaterials and Relationship With Its Environment. Fundamental Principles of Aeration, Drying, and Rewetting. Mathematical Modelling of Isotherm, Drying, and Wetting. Moisture Migration in Stored Grain Bins.
