Rice, like most other food products, contains adsorbed moisture. The adsorbed moisture exerts vapor pressure which varies with the moisture content of the material and from material to material. The ratio of the moisture vapor pressure to the saturated vapor pressure of pure water at the temperature of the material is called the equilibrium relativ...

Energy needed for drying rice in a cros flow dryer, with and without recycling of exhaust air, under various drying conditions, is compared. Different recycling configurations are considered. Recycling reduces the energy requirement and results in more uniform rice drying with no loss in rice milling quality. Refs.

This paper presents energy requirement data for the movement of various high-moisture foods in a laboratory-size pneumatic conveyor. The pressure drop due to the presence of solids inside the pneumatic conveying system was the primary parameter of interest. Energy requirements are determined for conveying diced carrots, diced pineapple, peas, and r...
