A model was developed for the design and analysis of a high temperature tunnel dryer, primarily used with a new cotton ginning product, EASIflo ^® cottonseed (starch-coated cottonseed). This form of cottonseed has emerged as a viable, value-added product for the cotton ginning industry. Currently, little information exists on dryer engineering, which is an essential component and expense for starch-coating cottonseed. In this study, a mathematical computational fluid dynamic model is presented that models the drying process, which can be used as a tool to optimize the design of commercial dryers in place today and in the future.
