Modeling of heat and mass transfer and aerodynamics in a bulk of stored agricultural raw material

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Methods of mathematical and computer simulation of the microclimate in storehouses for juicy agricultural raw material are suggested. The calculation algorithms developed allow one to determine the aerodynamic and temperature-moisture characteristics with account for natural convection and arbitrary shape of storehouses in order to optimize the storing of biological products.
