in this study thin layer drying of corn in a convective dryer was investigated at air temperatures of 50, 60 and 70ºc and air flow rates of 1, 1.4 and 1.8 kg min-1. experiments were performed in completely randomized design (crd). the effect of air temperature and flow rate on drying time, drying rate, effective diffusivity coefficient and activation energy were studied. results showed that the...

a project was established to develop a procedure for the selection, design, installation, test and evaluation of mass-flow rate measurement systems for root crop harvesting and to assess the consistency and precision of the weighing systems incorporated into crop feed arrangements in both laboratory and field studies. studies were conducted to evaluate conveyor belt weighing systems using an ex...
