Abstract
The bulk volume shrinkage was linearly related to instantaneous grain moisture reduction. The shrinkage coefficient was found to be primaril y a function of air relative humidity. The Bakker-Arkema's bulk grain drying model was modified to incorporate the shrinkage equation. A cor rection factor for thin layer drying equation was also introduced to r educe deviation between the experimental and simulated moisture conten t. The Bakker-Arkema model showed significant improvement due to these modifications.
