INTENSIVE ENERGY SAVING METHOD OF GRAIN DRYING
Keywords:
Grain drying, electromagnetic induction, the amount of generated heat, the Maxwell formulaAbstract
The method of drying of grain and removal of moisture which is based on receiving and processing of arising thermal processes described by the thermodynamics equation is developed. For carrying out pilot studies, it is developed the transistor – thyristor device, which consists of the control unit, the converter of frequency, the bunker with the screw in it that has helix surface, inductor windings, and a hydrometer. The algorithm of receiving and data processing is developed in the MATLAB software. It is a first time when the Maxwell’s formula is suitable for calculating a heat taken from grain moisture.
