Rice is the main food in Indonesia. Rice drying by using the traditional method directly under the sun light can require a long time to complete. The aim of this study is to investigate the appropriate kinetics modeling of rice with applied by fluidized bed dryer. A rice bed with 2-cm thickness has been dried at various temperatures (50℃, 60℃, and 70℃) with air velocity of 10 m/s applied from hot air fluidized dryer obtained from pyrolysis process. The appropriate rice drying kinetics modeling has been selected based on the agreement between experimental results and seven drying kinetics equations available namely the drying kinetics modeling of Newton, Page, Henderson-Pabis, Logarithmic, Midilli, Two Term, and Verma. The degree of accuracy for the kinetics modeling is determined based on six statistics parameters namely the coefficient determination (R2), mean absolute deviation (MAD), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), Akaike information criterion (AIC), and Schwarz information criterion (SIC). The results of the study show that the Verma drying kinetics modeling is the most appropriate model for rice using fluidized bed dryer with all given temperatures (50℃, 60℃, and 70℃) with regard to six given statistics parameters (R2, MAD, MSE, RMSE, AIC, and SIC).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
