| Abstract | In order to study the effect of corn kernel composition and physical structure on moisture distribution and transfer process and obtain the optimal tempering-drying parameters of corn kernel, a physical model was constructed with four different components as follows: seed coat, horny endosperm, farinaceous endosperm and embryo. The drying model was established based on the assumption of different diffusion coefficients and same thermal conductivity for the four components. The software of COMSOL Multiphysics was used to simulate the heat and mass transfer process inside the corn kernel during the thin-layer drying. The results showed that the least total drying time and the best drying quality were achieved under the multistage circulating drying of 10 min hot air drying and 60 min tempering, and the tempering degree was up to 0.9207. |
