Abstract
This work aims to study convective drying of ellipsoidal solids. Aplication has been done to drying of wheat Kernel. Diffusion equation in cylindrical coordinates has been solved via Galerkin-based integral method considering convective boundary conditions and constant thermo-physical properties. Results of the temperature and moisture content are presented and compared with wheat experimental drying data at relative humidity 33.8 % and temperature 47.0°C. It was verified that heat transfer in the drying process occurs much faster than the mass transfer, thus providing a rapid heating of the product, which reduces grain quality.
