SIMULATION OF THE DRYING CHARACTERISTICS OF GROUND NEEM SEEDS IN A FLUIDISED BED

The neem seed is a good source of neem oil as well as insecticides and pesticides. The oil and insecticides can be extracted by two consecutive leaching of neem seed kernels with hexane and ethanol. This work presents a model for simulating the drying of neem seeds in a fluidized bed. Experimental v...
