Investigation of a simulation model for peanut drying incorporating air recirculation

<p>Virginia type peanuts were dried in three laboratory dryers to verify a simulation model based on Troeger and Butler's drying equations. The energy saving potential of air recirculation was also investigated. Four tests consisting of eleven drying experiments were conducted in Fall,...
