Current high oil price and the agreement on global climate change prevention have increased worldwide investment and research on renewable energy. In Korea, development of a rapeseed dryer for bio-diesel production has been started in 2007. Usually, rapeseeds are harvested in early summer, because rice cultivation is followed right after rapeseed harvesting. Early harvest and bad summer results in highly moistured rapeseed and development of artificial drying system is required to dry great amount of rapeseed that couldn't be processed by sun drying alone. The rapeseed dryer was modified from an existing circulation type grain dryer. Modification of the dryer was performed with the aid of CFD simulation. Drying test showed that drying rate of rapeseed was 1.51%/h and germination rate reduction was 4.5%p for the drying temperature of $60^{\circ}C$.

곡물냉각기를 이용한 벼 건조 및 저장시스템의 최적 운영조건을 구명하기 위하여 Box의 complex algorithm을 기초로 한 최적화 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발한 최적화 프로그램을 이용하여 반입물량에 따른 시스템의 소요비용이 최소화되는 최적 1차 건조 후 함수율과 건조 및 냉각기의 최적소요 대수를 결정하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같았다. 벼의 건조비용은 최종함수율이 낮을수록 증가하였으며, 톤당 건조비용은 6 톤 건조기에 비해 20 톤 건조기를 사용하는 경우가 낮게 나타났으며, 수확기간 중 총반입물량이 3,000톤 이하인 시설에 필요한 곡물냉각기는 1대였으며, 그 이상의 반입물량을 갖는 시설에서는 곡물냉각기가 추가로 필요하였다. 곡물냉각기를 이용할 때 총반입물량에 따라 건조기에서 1 차 건조 후 최적 함수율은 약 17.2∼19.8%범위로 나타났으며, 건조기 및 냉각기의 최적 소요대수를 제시하였다. 곡물냉각기를 이용함으로써 건조능력을 50%이상 향상시킬 수 있으며, 건조비용을 10%이상 절감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 곡물냉각기를 이용한 벼 건조 및 저장시스템에 소요되는 톤당 최소비용은 6 톤 및 20톤 건조기를 사용할 경우 각각 28,464∼33,317 원 및 20,588∼26,511 원으로 관행적인 방법에 비해 2.6∼27.3%의 비용절감효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

An experimental work was conducted by using a laboratory-made model dryer to investigate the effect of the rate of natural forced-air on the drying rate of rough rice which was deposited in the deep-bed. The dryer consisted of 8 cylinderical containers with grain holding screen at their bottoms, each of which having 30cm in diameter and 15cm in height. The containers were sacked vertically with keeping them air-tight by using paper tape during dryer operation. Two separate layers of containers were operated in the same time to have two replications. The moisture contents of grains within each bins after predetermined period of dryer operation were determined indirectly by measuring the weight of the individual containers. The air-rates were maintained at 6 levels, or 5, 8, 10, 15, 18 and 20 millimenters of static head of water. The roomair conditions during dryer operation were maintained in the range of 10-l5$^{\circ}C$ in temperature and 40-60% in relative humidity. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. Drying characteristics of the grains in the bottom layers were approximately the same regardless of airdelivery rates, giving the average drying rate as about 0.35 percent per hour after 40-hour drying period, during which moisture content (w. b.) reduced from 24 percent to about 10 percent. 2. After about 40-hour drying period, the mean drying rates increased from 0.163 percent per hour to 0.263 percent per hour as air-flow rates increased from 5mm to 87.16mm of static head of water. In the same time, the moisture differences of grains between lower and upper layers varied from 12.7 percent at the air rate of 5mm of water head to 7.5 percent at the air-flow rate of 20mn of water head. Thus, the greater the air-flow rate was, the more overall improvement in drying performance was. Additionally, from the result of ineffectiveness of drying grain positioned at 70cm depth or above by the air rate of 5mm of static head of water it may be suggested in practical application that the height of grain deposit would be maintained adequately within the limits of air-rates that may be actually delivered. 3. Drying after layer-turning operation was continued for about 30 hours to test the effectiveness of reducing moisture differences in the thick layers. As a result of this layer-turning operation, moisture distribution through layers approached to narrow ranges, giving the moisture range as about 7 percent at air-flow rate of 5mm head of water, about 3 percent at 10mm head about 2 percent at 15mm head, and less than 1 percent at 20mm head. In addition, from the desirable results that drying rate was rapid in the lower layers and dully in the upper layers, layer-turning operation may be very effective in natural air drying with deep-layer grain deposit, especially when the forced air was kept in low rate. 4. Even though the high rate of air delivery is very desirable for deep-layer natural-air drying of rough rice, it can be happened that the required air delivery rate could not be attained because of limitation of power source available on farms. To give a guide line for the practical application, the power required to perform the drying with the specified air rate was analyzed for different sizes of drying bin and is given in Table (5). If a farmer selects a motor of which size is 1 or {{{{1 { 1} over {2 } }}}} H.P. and air-delivery rate which ranges from 8~10mm of head, the diameter of grain bin may be suggested to choose about 2.4m, also power tiller or other moderate size of prime motor may be recommended when the diameter of grain bin is about 5.0m or more for about 120cm grain deposit.

This study was carried out to develop a method of grain drying ststem that can be done by forcing the heated-air directly into the grains within the sack. The air duct was pushed into the central position of the grain-deposited sack and the heated-air was forced to flow in the radial direction. The system is referred here as the unit sack drying system. At a first step of this study, an air flow resistance tester was constructed to measure the resistance of air flow to grains in cooperated with some different sack materials, the sack materials, the tested were rice-straw bag, sack of polyethylene film, and jute sack In addition, unit sack drying system was constructed to investigate the drying characteristics of the dryer. on this dryer, two kind of terminal air ducts were attached and tested to examine its effects on uniform drying, and also, aseries of drying test was performed to trace the effect of increasing air flow rate on uniform drying. The results are as follows: 1) Resistance of air flow for each sack material was increased almost proportional to the increasing rate of air flow. Experimental data showed little significant differences of the air flow resistance among the materials. 2) From the comparison with air flow resistance of sack material and that of roughrice, it was indicated that airflow resistance of sack material was much higher than that of rice rough Therefore, in the unit sack drying sysle in which air flow is destined to face the sach material after leaving the grain, it was suggested that air flow would be inuniform to each part of grain within sack because of much higher air flow resistance of sack material than that of grain, and the fact would results inuniform grain drying. 3) Drying test on the unit sack drying system in cooperated with different type of terminal air ducts showed that high speed air is better for uniform drying than in high pressure. with the drying system which was assembled with the air ducts delivering higher speed air, there also involved a problem of significant inuniform drying. Therefore, any means to improve the inuniform drying should be undertaken for practical use. 4) A series of drying test with in creasing air flow rate resulted that increasing air flow rate in the unitsack drying system gave little effect on uniform drying, therefore, it is recommened to change its drying system for drying grain uniformly.

본 연구에서는 대풍량 곡물건조기에 사용되는 수평형 집진기의 집진효율 향상과 최적화를 위한 연구의 선행과정으로 Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)를 이용하여 집진기 내부의 유동 특성 분석과 원뿔형 허브의 각 변화가 집진기의 집진성능에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다. 최근 집진기 입구에 원뿔형 허브와 고정 베인을 설치하여 선회유동(Swirl Flow)을 발생시켜 이물질을 공기와 분리시키는 수평형 사이클론 집진기(Horizontal type Cyclone Dust collector)가 개발되었다. 이 집진기는 크기가 비교적 작고 설치가 용이하고 비교적 배압이 낮아 추가 동력을 필요로 하지 않으며 베인의 선회력을 이용하기 때문에 대풍량 배습용 송풍기에도 적용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 수평형 집진기 형상으로 인해 발생하는 집진기 내부의 배압 문제와 분진 퇴적 문제를 해결하기 위해서 3차원 유동해석을 이용하여 집진기 내부 형상 변화에 따른 유동 특성에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 실제 곡물건조기에 적용 가능한 수평형 집진기 설계를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하였으며, 향후 연구 예정인 고정 베인 설계, 주분리관 및 중간분리관의 설계에 적용하고자 한다.
