Zielinska, M.
The objective of this study was to dry–wet distillers grains and centrifuged solubles and to examine the effect of two different drying media, superheated steam and hot air, at different drying temperatures (110, 130, and 160°C), moisture contents (5–30% wb), and percentages of solubles’ presence (0 or 100%) on some thermophysical properties of laboratory-prepared corn/wheat dried distillers co-products, including geometric mean diameter (d g), particle density (ρ ₚ), bulk density (ρ b), bulk porosity (ϵ b), specific heat (C), effective thermal diffusivity (α ₑff), and bulk thermal conductivity (λ b). The values of d g of corn/wheat dried distillers co-products ranged from 0.358 ± 0.001 to 0.449 ± 0.001 mm. Experimental values of ρ ₚ, ρ b, and ϵ b varied from 1171 ± 6 to 1269 ± 3 kg m ⁻³, from 359 ± 7 to 605 ± 5 kg m ⁻³, and from 0.54 ± 0.01 to 0.71 ± 0.01 kg m ⁻³, respectively. The values of α ₑff were between 0.58 × 10 ⁻⁷ and 0.93 × 10 ⁻⁷ m ² s ⁻¹. The calculated values of C ranged from 1887 ± 11 to 2599 ± 19 J kg ⁻¹ K ⁻¹, and the values of λ b of corn/wheat dried distillers co-products ranged from 0.06 ± 0.01 to 0.09 ± 0.01 W m ⁻¹ K ⁻¹. Multiple linear regression prediction models were developed to predict the changes in d g, ρ ₚ, ρ b, ϵ b, C, α ₑff, and λ b of laboratory-prepared corn/wheat dried distillers co-products with different operational factors.
