摘要：The removal or reduction of moisture from a grain most often having moisture content of around 20%during harvesting reduced to a target moisture content of below 6% helps in preserving the grain after post-harvest.There exist several methods from direct sun drying to mechanically injecting heat and air to induce forced convection,this research therefore looks at forced convection drying as we can control the rate of drying and the resultant moisture,Corn kernels is widely consumed in Africa and the subject in this study [6].Solar evacuated produce heated air at 60℃ that is passed through a layer of grain, through heat and mass transfer thegrain dry’s as it loses moisture. This paper will in the initials finding concentrate in determining the optimal grain layerthickness, flow velocity and air mass flow rate for 100kg of wet grain. [2]
