The main challenges encountered in the use of the geothermal grain dryer, such as in Menengai, Kenya, include uneven grain drying and long throughput times. Grains near the hot air inlet dry at a faster rate compared to those near the exhaust end. Therefore, the grains must be recirculated within the dryer to achieve uniform moisture distribution. Grain recirculation is energy-intensive as it utilizes electricity running the elevator motors in addition to the suction pump. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was developed to study the airflow pattern and its impact on drying of maize. The model was simulated in ANSYS 21 and validated using experimental data. Finite volume discretization method was employed for meshing. Pressure-based segregated solver was used in the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Also, K-Omega turbulent model was used for enhancing wall treatment. The findings indicate that non-uniform hot air distribution across the grain buffer section causes uneven drying. Introducing filleted flow-guides results in a relatively uniform velocity, temperature, and turbulence kinetic energy distribution across the dryer. The average velocity and temperature magnitudes in lower compartments increased by 153.3% and 0.25% respectively for the improved dryer. In the upper compartments, the velocity and temperature increase were 176.5% and 0.22% respectively.展开更多
