METHODOLOGY

The corns are cleaned and dyed

different colors to different
batches.
Initial weight was measured.
The dryer was started and set
to required temperature and
flow rate.
The corn was placed in the
dryer and dried until all corns
exits the dryer.
The final mass was measured.

different set points.
The rate of drying is higher when a
drying temperature is used.
The rate of drying is higher when a
air flow rate is used.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this experiment
is to :
Study the effect of hot air inlet temperature on the rate
of drying

Study the effect of hot air inlet flowrate on the rate of

drying

PROBLEM STATEMENT
What is the best operating temperature and air flow rate in a rotating
dryer to allow the highest possible drying rate?

METHODOLOGY
1

The corns are cleaned and dyed different colors

to different batches.
2

Initial weight was measured.

3

The dryer was started and set to required

temperature and flow rate.
4

The corn was placed in the dryer and dried until

all corns exits the dryer.

DISCUSSIONS

CONCLUSIONS

EXPERIMENT 5
(effect of temperature on
drying rate)

Experiment 6
(effect of flow rate on
drying rate)

The weight loss of nuts increased when

hot air inlet temperature increased.
This can be concluded that the higher
the temperature of hot air inlet, more
moisture could be removed from nuts.

The weight loss of nuts increased with

increasing of flow rate of air. This can
be concluded that the higher the air
flow rate, the higher the drying rate.
