A mathematical model was developed to quantify the separation process of threshed grain-straw mixtures. It was made to predict the separation loss from a separation unit consisted of stationary crimped sieve with rotating inner rotor. Experiments were performed to prove the mathematical model by changing various levels of pertinent variables for rice. Good Agreement between the simulated results and observed data under the various test conditions, such as inclination angle of the separator, vane pitch, rotor speed, MOG/G ratio, feed rate, and crop variety and moisture content, were confirmed.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of the counter-pressure setting and the roller speed of a rice whitening machine on the head rice recovery. milling capacity and milling efficiency, and also to find out the optimum operational conditions of the machine. The radial pressure inside the whitening chamber and the outlet axial pressure were measured to study their relationships with the head rice recovery, milling capacity and milling efficiency. The results of the study are summarized as follows. (1) The most important factor in rice whitening was the counter-pressure setting. It significantly affected the head rice recovery. (2) The roller speed significant affected the milling capacity and milling efficiency , but it did not affected the head rice recovery. (3) Both the radial pressure and the outlet axial pressure were affected by the counter-pressure setting but not by the roller speed. Both of them increased almost linearly with the counter-pressure setting. There was a significant correlation between the radial pressure and the outlet axial pressure. (4) The flow rate through the whitening chamber when the feed gate was fully opened increased with the roller speed, but it was not affected by the counter-pressure setting. (5) The head rice recovery decreased as the counter-pressure setting increased , but it was not affected by the roller speed. The reason could be explained by the fact that the radical pressure increased only with the counter-pressure setting. (6) The milling capacity increased with the counter-pressure setting and linearly with the roller speed. The milling efficiency generally increased with both the counter-pressure setting and the roller speed. However, the effect of roller speed was negligible at the higher counter-pressure setting. The temperature rise inside the whitening chamber was moderate with the mean of 11.3℃ (range 5.6-18.3℃) even though it increased slightly with the roller speed. Considering the head rice recovery and milling efficiency, the optimum operational conditions of the machine appeared to be the counter-pressure setting of 67g/㎠ and the roller speed of 1,050rpm. Neglecting the small difference in the head rice recovery , the greater milling capacity could be obtained at the counter-pressure setting of 85g/㎠ with the roller speed of 850-1050rpm.

Experimental work of batch-type dryer was conducted to develop its optimurm operating conditions by analyzing the major factors which affect the drying performance. A laboratory batch-type dryer was constructed and tested for various levels of heated-air rates, and depths of grain deposit. Tong-il rice variety having the initial moisture content of approximaely 23 per cent in wet basis was used for the experiment. The criteria selected for establishing the optimum operating condition were the drying performance rate, the thermal efficiency, and the operational cost of the dryer. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. The performance rate of dryer for a specific operating condition was defined as total amount of material dried per hour when the moisture content of grains in the upperlayer reaches to 16 per cent in wet basis. The optimum operating conditions as viewed in the rate of drying performance could be justified by functional realtionship between the depth of grain deposit and air flow rate. In other words, there was a definite depth of grain deposit for a given air-rate which make the dryer performance maximum. The optimum grain depth for the batch-type dryer with 3.3㎡ loading area and with the attached axial fan was about 35cm. 2. The thermal efficiency for the dryer was evaluated by the ratio of the latent heat required to evaporate the grain moisture to the heat input required to raise the ambient air-temperature to 40 degree centigrade. The optimum operating condition as viewed in term of thermal efficiency analyzed was that grater depth and lower air flow-rate may be desirable. This condition is contracted with the optimum condition as viewed by the dryer performance rate. 3. The annual operating cost of batch-type dryer was analyzed for different annual hour of use and for different operation condition. The optimum condition as viewed in terms of operating cost was almost identical to one as viewed in terms of dryer performance rate. Therefore, the most economical use of batch-type dryer for the same annual operating hours can be obtained when the dryer operated in the condition of maximum dryer performance rate. Increasing the annual operating hour may be desirable to cut down the dryer operation cost, since the annual hour of dryer use is much sensitive to the operating cost than any peractical conditions of dryer operation. 4. The most desirable operational condition as justified by combining all the criteria, dryer performance rate, thermal efficiency and annual operating cost, could be concluded to operate the dryer in the condition of maximum performance rate. The condition in general is identical to the lowest operation cost for a given annual operating hour.

우리 나라나 동남아(東南亞) 실정(實情)에 적합(適合)한 콤바인 개발(開發)에 관(關)한 기초(基礎) 자료(資料)를 얻기 위하여, 고정(固定)된 선별망(選別網) 속에서 로우터를 회전(回轉)시켜 짚 속에 섞여 있는 곡립(穀粒)을 선별(選別)할 수 있는 원뿔형과 원통형의 2 종(種)의 모형(模型) 축류(軸流) 조선별장치(粗選別裝置)를 제작(製作)하였다. 선별성능실험(選別性能實驗)을 통하여 여러 가지 설계변수(設計變數)가 선별특성(選別特性)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 조사(調査)한 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. (1)시작기(試作機)의 경사각(傾斜角)이 증가(增加)할수록, 또 선별실(選別室) 덮개 내표면(內表面)의 깃 피치가 감소(減少)할수록 곡립회수율(穀粒回收率)은 증가(增加)하고, 짚제거율(除去率)은 감소(減少)하였다. 선별망(選別網) 길이가 증가(增加)함에 따라 곡립회수율(穀粒回收率)과 전효율(全效率)은 지수함수적(指數函數的)으로 증가(增加)하였으나, 짚제거율(除去率)은 감소(減少)하였고 교반판(攪拌板)은 없는 경우(境遇)가 유리(有利)하였다. (2)로우터 회전속도(回轉速度)의 증가(增加)에 따라 곡립회수율(穀粒回收率)과 전효율(全效率)은 감소(減少)하였으나, 짚제거율(除去率)은 원통형과 원뿔형 시작기(試作機)가 서로 상반(相反)되는 경향(傾向)을 나타내었다. 또 공급속도(供給速度)의 증가(增加)에 따라 곡립회수율(穀粒回收率)과 전효율(全效率)은 감소(減少)하였으며, 짚유량(流量)의 증가(增加)에 따라 모든 효율(效率)이 감소(減少)하였으나, 전유량(全流量)의 영향(影響)은 그다지 크지 않았다. (3)짚낟알비(比)가 곡립회수율((穀粒回收率)에 미치는 영향(影響)은 그다지 크지 않았으며, 짚낟알비(比)가 증가(增加)할수록 짚제거율(除去率)과 전효율(全效率)이 증가(增加)하였다. 품종별(品種別), 수분별(水分別) 곡립회수율(穀粒回收率)의 차이(差異)는 그다지 크지 않았으나, 키가 작은 삼강벼가 곡립회수율(穀粒回收率)과 전효율(全效率)이 약간 높게 나타났고 소요동력(所要動力)도 적었다. (4)두 시작기(試作機)는 작물조건(作物條件)에 따른 선별성능(選別性能)의 변동(變動)이 비교적(比較的) 작았고, 콤바인 조선별장치(粗選別裝置)로서의 활용가능성(活用可能性)이 인정(認定)되었다. 원뿔형 시작기(試作機)는 원통형에 비해 곡립회수율(穀粒回收率)은 낮았으나 소요동력(所要動力)이 적고 짚제거율(除去率)이 높아 전효율(全效率)은 약간(若干) 높았으나 실험조건(實驗條件)에 따른 변화(變化)가 크게 나타났다.
