Low-temperature drying systems have been extensively used for drying cereal grain such as shelled corn and wheat. Since the 1973 energy crisis, many researches have been conducted to apply solar energy as supplemental heat to natural air drying systems. However, little research on rough rice drying has been done in this area, especially very little in Korea. In designing a solar drying system, quality loss, airflow requirements, temperature rise of drying air, fan power and energy requirements should be throughly studied. The factors affecting solar drying systems are airflow rate, initial moisture content, the amount of heat added to drying air, fan operation method and the weather conditions. The major objectives of this study were to analyze the effects of the performance factors and determine design parameters such as airflow requirements, optimum bed depth, optimum temperature rise of drying air, fan operation method and collector size. Three hourly observations based on the 4-year weather data in Chuncheon area were used to simulate rough rice drying. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that the experimental and predicted values of the temperature rise of the air passing through the collector agreed well. 2. Equilibrium moisture content was affected a little by airflow rate, but affected mainly by the amount of heat added, to drying air. Equilibrium moisture content ranged from 12.2 to 13.2 percent wet basis for the continuous fan operation, from 10.4 to 11.7 percent wet basis for the intermittent fan operation respectively, in range of 1. 6 to 5. 9 degrees Centigrade average temperature rise of drying air. 3. Average moisture content when top layer was dried to 15 percent wet basis ranged from 13.1 to 13.9 percent wet basis for the continuous fan operation, from 11.9 to 13.4 percent wet basis for the intermittent fan operation respectively, in the range of 1.6 to 5.9 degrees Centigrade average temperature rise of drying air and 18 to 24 percent wet basis initial moisture content. The results indicated that grain was overdried with the intermittent fan operation in any range of temperature rise of drying air. Therefore, the continuous fan operation is usually more effective than the intermittent fan operation considering the overdrying. 4. For the continuous fan operation, the average temperature rise of drying air may be limited to 2.2 to 3. 3 degrees Centigrade considering safe storage moisture level of 13.5 to 14 perceut wet basis. 5. Required drying time decrease ranged from 40 to 50 percent each time the airflow rate was doubled and from 3.9 to 4.3 percent approximately for each one degrees Centigrade in average temperature rise of drying air regardless of the fan operation methods. Therefore, the average temperature rise of drying air had a little effect on required drying time. 6. Required drying time increase ranged from 18 to 30 percent approximately for each 2 percent increase in initial moisture content regardless of the fan operation methods, in the range of 18 to 24 percent moisture. 7. The intermittent fan operation showed about 36 to 42 percent decrease in required drying time as compared with the continuous fan operation. 8. Drymatter loss decrease ranged from 34 to 46 percent each time the airflow rate was doubled and from 2 to 3 percent approximately for each one degrees Centigrade in average temperature rise of drying air, regardless of the fan operation methods. Therefore, the average temperature rise of drying air had a little effect on drymatter loss. 9. Drymatter loss increase ranged from 50 to 78 percent approximately for each 2 percent increase in initial moisture content, in the range of 18 to 24 percent moisture. 10. The intermittent fan operation: showed about 40 to 50 percent increase in drymatter loss as compared with the continuous fan operation and the increasing rate was higher at high level of initial moisture and average temperature rise. 11. Year-to-year weather conditions had a little effect on required drying time and drymatter loss. 12. The equations for estimating time required to dry top layer to 16 and 1536 wet basis and drymatter loss were derived as functions of the performance factors. by the least square method. 13. Minimum airflow rates based on 0.5 percent drymatter loss were estimated. Minimum airflow rates for the intermittent fan operation were approximately 1.5 to 1.8 times as much as compared with the continuous fan operation, but a few differences among year-to-year. 14. Required fan horsepower and energy for the intermittent fan operation were 3. 7 and 1. 5 times respectively as much as compared with the continuous fan operation. 15. The continuous fan operation may be more effective than the intermittent fan operation considering overdrying, fan horsepower requirements, and energy use. 16. A method for estimating the required collection area of flat-plate solar collector using average temperature rise and airflow rate was presented.

This study was performed to determine proper fan and heater management schemes for natural air drying of rough rice in round steel bin with stirring device under Korean weather conditions. A computer simulation model was developed to predict moisture content changes, energy requirements, and drymatter losses during drying of rough rice by natural air. Drying test was conducted to validate the simulation model using round steel bin of holding capacity of 300ton at Rice Processing Complex in Jincheon. The bin was filled with rough rice every day and mixing by stirring device. Moisture contents, ambient air temperatures, relative humidities, static pressures in plenum chamber in the bin, airflow rates, and electrical and fuel energy were measured. Relative errors of moisture content changes predicted by the simulation model were below 5ft, and relative errors of final moisture content, final grain weight, required energy ranged from 0.9% to 6%. These not levels indicated that the simulation model can satisfactorily predict the performance factors of natural air drying system such as drying rates and energr consumptions comparing error level of 10% to 15% in other drying simulation models generally used in dryer desists. Twelve different fan and heater management schemes were evaluated using the computer simulation model based on three hourly weather data from Suweon for the period of 1952-1994. The best management schemes were selected comparing the drymatter losses, required drying times, required energy consumptions. Operating fan without heating only when ambient relative humidity was below 85% or 90% appeared to be the most effective method of In operation in favorable drying weather. Under adverse drying climates or to reduce required drying time, operating fan continuously, and heating air with $1.5^{\circ}C$ temperature rise only when ambient relative humidity was over 85% appeared to be the most suitable method.

Solid/Liquid(S/L) separation is crucial for biological treatment of animal wastewater. Liquid portion from S/L separation has less BOD-load and proper post-strip treatment can be obtained . Screen or declined sieve was normally used to separate the solid parts. For better separating efficiency a vibration and a cylindrical separator were constructed and tested. The results are summarized as follows : Solids removal efficiency and moisture content of separated solid were 15-26% and 85-88%, respectively for the vibration separator. For the cylindrical separator, solid removal efficiency and moisture content of solid were 16-39% and 86-89% , respectively. The greatest amount of drymatter was obtained when operating vibration separator with 10。 inclination and 100% vibrating power. For the cylindrical separator maximum efficiency was obtained with 40rpm and 19 inclination . The vibration and the cylindrical separator have shown 21% and 26% in BOD removal, respectively. These two types of separator were proved to be applicable methods for animal wastewater separation.

The purposes of this study were to develop a simulation model and to determine minimum specific airflow rate requirements for natural air drying of rough rice in Korea. A simulation model was developed considering energy and mass balances within grain bed, drying and rewetting rates, and hysterisis effect between sorption and desorption isotherms. As the results of validation test, the moisture contents predicted by the model agreed very well with the actual data. The criteria for determining minimum specific airflow rate requirements was that the top loom layer in the bin be dried to a moisture content below 16 percent wet basis with less than 0.5% drymatter decomposition. The minimum specific airflow rate requirements in 13 locations of Korea were presented based on the worst one among the past 7 to 13-year weather data. These requirements were also presented for all the combinations of three harvest dates and four harvest moisture contents. Specific airflow rate requirements seemed to be half by each 2 percent reduction in moisture content from 24 percent. As harvest date was delayed by 10 days from October 1, these requirements were reduced by about 20 to 40 percent.

출수기전후 수도의 광합성능화과 생육상태의 차이가 건물생산과 수량구성요소에 미치는 영향을 구명하고 통일품종의 출수전 저장물질과 출수후 축적 물질이 현미수량을 구성함에 있어서 차지하는 의존도를 재배시기를 달리한 상태에서 조사한바 그 성적을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 등숙기의 광합성능력은 품종간에 차이를 보여 광합성능력이 비교적 높은 품종군(만경, 농림 2002, 동산 38호 Kotominori)과 낮은 품종군(진흥 팔금 통일 금남풍)으로 구별되였으며 그중 진흥 Kotominori 양품종은 수전기에서 유숙기에걸쳐 광합성능력의 저하가 심하였으며 시비법의 차이에 의한 광합성능력의 변동도 큰편이였다. 2. 출수후 광합성능력과 엽신질소함량및 엽중비율(엽신건물중/전건물중)간에는 정의 상관이 인정되었으며 일본품종은 한국 품종에 비하여 그들간의 상관이 더욱 높고 엽신질소함량도 높았다. 3. 수전기로부터 유숙기까지의 근활력소장은 광합성능력 단백태질소함량과도 상호밀접하게 관계하여 수전기에서 유숙기에 걸쳐 근의 산화력이 높은 것은 이삭의 건물증가량을 많게하고 최종적으로는 수량에도 영향하는 것으로 추찰되였다. 4. 공시품종들의 출수전저장탄수화물량과 출수후 탄수화물생산량에 의한 현미구성비율은 출수전 저장 탄수화물에 의존도가 15~26%에 불과하고 나머지 74~85는 출수후 탄수화물 생산량에 의존하고 있다. 5. 수전기의 엽신질소함량과 주당 영화수와의 관계를보면 한국품종군과 일본품종군간에는 2계열의 정의 상관이 인정되었고 시비법 차이에 의한 $\textrm{m}^2$당 영화수는 한국품종군에서는 후기중점 시비구가 일본품종군에서는 기비중점 시비구가 많은 결과를 보여주었다. 6. 출수기를 전후한 건물중과 엽면적은 이앙기가 빠를수록 높은 수치를 보였으며 엽면적 엽량 공히 출수전 3주간에 있어서는 건물증가율과 정의 상관이 인정되여 동기간에 있어서의 건물증가율의 차이는 엽면적의 차에 의하여 직접규제되나 출수후등숙에 접어들면서 엽면적의 직접적인 지배성은 점차로 소실되어 감을 알수 있었다. 7. 현미구성에 있어 출수전 저장동화물질과 출수후 생산된 동화물질에 의존비율은 이앙기가 빠를수록 그리고 엽신 N함량이 많을수록 출수전 저장동화물질에 의존도가 높아 재배시기이동에 의한 환경조건변화로 통일품종의 등숙향상과 수량증대가 가능함을 뒷받침하여 주었다. 8. 8월 17일 출수기를 중심으로 그이전에 출수한 구에서는 저장기간중 일사량 및 일조시간이 많고 평균기온도 높은 양호한 기상조건하에서 경과하게되여 현미구성에 있어 출수전 저장동화물질에 의존도를 높일수 있었다고 본다. 9. 이상의 출수전후 집적량과 기상환경과의 상관을 맺어본 결과 출수전 동화물질 저장량과 출수전 3주간의 평균일사량 일조시수 평균기온과는 고도의 정의 상관이 있었다.
