Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of heat energy in the paddy drying process using a fluidized bed dryer. The method used in this research was an experimental method using an energy balance. This test was carried out using a fluidized beds dryer, with paddy material, where the paddy was dried at a certain temperature with 3 mass treatments, namely 5, 6 kg, and 7 kg with an air velocity of 21 m/s. The results showed that the total energy that enters the drying chamber for a mass of 5 kg material is 1,022 kJ with a useful energy of 1.339 kJ. The energy that enters the drying chamber for a mass of 6 kg is 1,043 kJ with a useful energy of 2.192 kJ. For a mass of 7 kg of material, the energy that enters the drying chamber is 1,187 kJ with a useful energy of 3.578 kJ.

Abstract This research aims to know the heat transfer process on the fluidized bed dryer for corn material. In this study conducted observations on the temperature and heat produced during the drying process, with three different pipe heat exchanger: spiral, parallel, and combination; The air of the air was 2 m/s, 4 m/s, and 6 m/s and the mass of corn material was1.5 kg with an initial moisture content of 24%. Test results showed that the highest-produced temperature in the combination heat exchanger pipe with a drying room temperature averaged 54°C. The value of the highest convection coefficient of heat transfer in the combination heat exchanger pipe flow treatment with the air velocity of 6 m/s by 29.4 W/m2K. The heat energy that enters at the treatment of combination heat exchanger pipe with the air speed of 6 m/s by 1774 Watts. Heat energy is lost through the highest wall drying chamber at the combination heat exchanger pipe flow treatment with the air velocity of 6 m/s by 409 Watts. The heat energy used is 335 Watts to dry the highest material in the combination heat exchanger pipe flow treatment with the air speed of 6 m/s.

In order to conserve cuminum cyminum L. during long storage periods, the drying kinetics of this seed undergoing microwave-assisted fluidized bed dryer at various microwave output power (300, 600 and 900w), air velocity (10, 15 and 20 m/s) and air temperatures (45, 55 and 65ᵒc) were studied. The main aim of this research is developing a mathematical model of mass transfer to investigate the microwave-assisted fluidized bed drying of cuminum cyminum L. seed. In this paper, we tried to discover a good model to evaluate moisture effective diffusivity (Deff). Keywords: cuminum cyminum L, microwave-assisted drying, mathematical modeling,

This study represents an attempt to reduce the drying time of wet grain wheat of the fluidized bed dryer (FBD), using straight blades, and debates the effect of stirrer on the whole drying time at different static bed heights. Experiments for FBD were conducted at the low velocity of air supply (1.45 cm/s) with moisture content for grain wheat 12% and ambient temperature of 37°C for each static bed height (9, 12, and 15 cm). FBD was made from a glass cylindrical column with inside diameter 4.6 cm, outside diameter (5.2 cm) and length (116 cm). The results showed an enhancement of (12- 20.5%) in the total drying time for bed height (9 and 15) cm, respectively. Also, increasing bed height from 9 cm to 15 cm possesses no influence on the equilibrium content of moisture in both techniques of drying either stirred fluidized bed or conventional fluidized bed.  


Today many industries now use the dryer as a part of grain-drying process even during wet and dry seasons. This helps in reducing spoilage and wastage of paddy. Mostly the available industrial dryers are expensive to purchase and to maintain its smooth functioning. This study therefore is a step to design a simple Plug flow fluidized dryer that can lead to introduce small scale dryers to paddy process industry. The Plug flow fluidized bed dryers are designed and fabricated in this study consists of the drying chamber, hot air distributer plate, hot air inlet and exit system, paddy entry and exit system, fluidization chamber unit with temperature control unit and the centrifugal fan. The evaluation of dryer is based on drying time and reduction in moisture content and outlet temperature of paddy on quality parameters. Dryer dimensions are very important to analyze heat and mass transfer analysis of the Plug flow fluidized bed drying process of paddy grains. It was found d that heat and mass transfer properties of paddy grains in fluidized bed dryer was decreases as the time of drying passes and very rapid at the start of drying. The model present here predicts about dryer dimensions along safe zone of rough rice moisture content with other parameters. Simulation results show a good agreement between the simulation model and the existing simulation models

This artical also discusses about demostration of fluidized bed dryer with principle and application and other processing. This has lead to development of thechnology, process and equipments which not only reduce time but also increasing the output. A Fluidized bed dryer significantely reduce drying time, compared with vaccum dryer or tray dryer. In the pharmacutical industry, fluidized bed dryer are typically used for pellets drying, coating and granulation. Fluidized bed drying are very well known to yield high heat and mass transfer and hence adopted to many industrial drying process particularly pharmacy product. In this paper we show construction, working of the fluidized bed dryer. It work on the drying principle. It has several advantages and disadvantages.

Red chili is an agricultural product that contains high moisture. In this study, the drying process of red chili was conducted by using two methods which are conventional method of drying under the sun and by using swirling fluidized bed dryer. A fluidized bed column of 108 mm in diameter with slotted distributor of 45° inclination angles was used in the experiment. Result of drying by using conventional method showed that for 1kg of sample the drying time was 13 days with 212g weight reduction and the color of the red chili changed from red to dark red. Meanwhile for swirling fluidized bed dryer the time required was 4 days, 200g weight reduction and the color of red chili maintained. Based on the results obtained, the drying of red chili by using swirling fluidized bed dryer is more efficient as compared to drying by using conventional method.

In this study, an investigation on olive cake as on alternative fuel and effect of drying air temperature and drying air velocity is conducted. In many developing countries olive cake is considered as a biomass and can be used in very large amounts at very low cost. The effect of drying air temperature and air velocity at constant humidity conditions was studied. A process for drying of olive cake in a fluidized bed dryer is proposed. Results of these experiments of the olive cake indicated that olive cake has an excellent potential to be a renewable source of energy and suitable material for these types of dryers.
