| Abstract | Four models were developed to simulate the drying of paddy with the
f0rced flow of ambient air. Two models were empirical in nature while the
other two employed the near equilibrium simulation approach. Experimental
drying tests were carried out in the months of April and June 1981 to generate
data for model validation. The simulated drying results from the four models
agreed reasonably well with the experimentally obtained values.
Milling quality of the ambient air dried paddy was also investigated.
The milling test results showed no marked changes between the paddy before
and after drying.
