Industrial grain drying utilizes approximately 12–25% of the total energy in the
manufacturing processes, thereby contributing to a large-scale carbon footprint. However …

Storage is an important process involved in the postharvest treatment of grain–oilseed and
is necessary for maintaining high quality and ensuring the long‐term supply of these …

Fixed‐bed drying of grains is a widely used method for determining temperature and
humidity changes and pressure drop characteristics during aeration. In this study, an …

In this paper, a novel gradient porosity transpiration cooling plate structure (GP-TCPS) is
proposed to address the heat transfer deterioration phenomenon owing to non-uniform local …

Drying and storage are two significant unit operations in the food industry and are applied to
both raw and processed products including cereal grains, oilseeds, legumes, flour, noodle …

Computational fluid dynamics model parameters highly depend on the storage structure,
grain conditions, and airflow properties. Solution methods obtained for the lab-scale bins …

Centre filling of a cylindrical silo results in a peaked grain pile with a high concentration of
fines in the bulk core restricting airflow. Fines are also known to have higher mycotoxin …

To understand the significance of heterogeneous pore structure characteristics and its
overall effect on airflow distribution and pressure drop within stored bulk grains, porosity and …

The drying performance of a heat pump drying room primarily depends on the uniformity of
the air distribution. The air distribution is affected by parameters such as circulating fan and …
