Techno-economic analysis of a biomass-powered inclined bed dryer for maize drying
International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology, 2023 The study assessed the technical performance and economic viability of a 200 kg capacity biomass-powered inclined bed dryer for drying maize. The dryer recorded an average air temperature of 73.54˚C in the plenum, which reduced the moisture content from ...
