3D Model-Based Simulation Analysis of Energy Consumption in Hot Air Drying of Corn Kernels

To determine the mechanism of energy consumption in hot air drying, we simulate the interior heat and mass transfer processes that occur during the hot air drying for a single corn grain. The simulations are based on a 3D solid model. The 3D real body model is obtained by scanning the corn kernels w...
