Abstract Microwave energy at a frequency
of 2,450 Mhz was used to dry cottonseed. The investigation
included cottonseed moisture levels, power input levels, and lengths of
exposure to the microwave energy. Equations were developed to predict the
rate of drying with respect to exposure time. The effects of microwave energy
in seed-mass temperature and seed germination were also investigated. |
