Experimental Research on Deep-Bed Drying Characteristics of Maize

Abstract

In this paper, the deep-bed drying rate was analyzed under different bed depths and air temperatures. It was found that the bed depth had a greater impact on the drying efficiency, and if the initial moisture content of maize and the ventilation temperature are higher, the effect would be much more notable. The results will provide a basis for optimal design of the deep-bed drying devices.
