Abstract

Temperature response within bulk rough rice in a cylindrical storage bin was examined experimentally and was numerically analyzed by means of the finite element method. The results showed that numerical values have acceptable accuracy in estimating temperatures. It was indicated that the axial heat flow is much affected by the heat which transfers through the air on the top of the storage bin.
