Drying and Storage of Cereal Grains

Booknews

Although drying is the only real method of preserving cereal grains, and has been practiced since pre-history, its science is not yet fully understood. Bala (U. of Newcastle upon Tyne) assembles drying and storage studies to provide an overview of the scientific issues involved. Topics covered include principles of drying; psychrometry; air flow resistance and fans; temperature and moisture changes during storage; and design of grain storages. Intended for students of agricultural engineering. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
