Modeling and Optimization of Rice Drying and Storage System in Korea(I) -Layout and Design of Model System-

한국에 있어서 미곡(米穀)의 건조(乾燥) 및 저장(貯藏)을 위한 시스템의 모델 개발 및 적정규모 선정에 관한 연구(I) -모델 시스템의 Layout 및 설계-

In order to improve the traditional post harvest system in Korea, a model for mechanized grain drying and storage facilities was developed. Also, a computer program for the model system was developed. For the study, flat type steel bin and circulation type dryer were selected for the model and Fortran language was used for the computer program. This program was tested by using various practical data. The following results were obtained from the study: 1. The general model developed can be used for designing a rough rice drying and storage facility within the range from 100 ton to 1000 ton capacity. 2. Major output of the computer program for designing a model system were as follow; a. The dimension of the plant. b. The storage bin size, dryer number and dryer size. c. The dimension of individual equipment and its required HP. d. Capital requirement and operating cost of the model system.
