Moisture migration in a grain column subjected to drying

In this paper. a mathematical model has been developed to predict temperature and moisture distribution within a column dryer taking into account the influence of the change of air moisture on the grain moisture through the sorption isotherm. In the development of the energy equation, the influenc...
