CELLULAR DIFFUSION-BASED DRYING MODEL FOR CORN.
Transactions of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers, 31 (1):
279--283 (1988)Abstract
A diffusion-based drying model has been developed for corn in which
the endosperm and germ are modeled as a sphere with the resistance
of the pericarp being part of the external resistance. The new diffusion
model is more accurate than Page's equation in describing the drying
of white shelled corn, yet in terms of application, the difference
in accuracy is slight. The diffusion coefficient is an exponential
function of the inverse of air temperature.
