Abstract
A generalized dimensionless model of paddy drying was developed from a validated partial differential equation (PDE) drying model using the dimensional analysis of Buckingham theorem. This generalized dimensionless model considered all drying parameters in an equation to predict the grain moisture content during the drying process. Statistical parameters, namely, coefficient of determination (R 2), chi-square (χ2), mean relative deviation (MRD), and root mean square error (RMSE), were used as criteria to compare the dimensionless model with a validated PDE model. Based on these calculated parameters, it was concluded that the generalized dimensionless model fitted reasonably well with data from the PDE model and good agreement was found between the generalized dimensionless model and experimental drying data.
