where: τ – drying time between 0...25200 s. Laminar solver is chosen because<br />

the dryer inlet air velocity is small.<br />

Processing is performed on a TYAN graphics station dual processor<br />

Intel Xeon Six Core 3.33 GHz, 32 GB DDR3 RAM and two Fermi Tesla C2050<br />

cards, and a drying period of 7 hours for which they were made functions of<br />

temperature and moisture introduced initially during the calculation of the<br />

simulation lasted 15 minutes.<br />

Post-processing. The solver produces a map of the distribution of all the<br />

variables throughout the domain. This result must be processed so that it can be<br />

easily reported, visualized and analyzed. This is the main purpose of the postprocessing<br />

task, which is essential for comprehensive evaluation of the<br />

simulation. Usual outcomes of post-processing for visualization are temperature<br />

and velocity maps, plots of other scalar variables and animations. The postprocessor<br />

can also give information about the instantaneous value of all<br />

variables at certain positions in the domain, and can perform balances and<br />

numerical calculations. Simulation describes the temperature distribution in the<br />

malt bed. Temperature transducers can be placed at different points in this bed,<br />

but can not be so numerous that to draw a precise temperature profile in both<br />

horizontal and vertical section of the malt bed. However the presences of these<br />

transducers are needed to calibrate temperature simulations for some initial<br />

parameters kept constant in the CFD simulation.<br />

Image of Fig. 2 shows the evolution of air temperature at the inlet of the<br />

dryer for a period of 25200 sec. equivalent of 7 hours.<br />

Fig. 2 – Evolution of air temperature during the drying process.<br />

Fig. 3 shows the temperature distribution and evolution in the first layer<br />

of malt into contact with hot air, and in Fig. 4 the temperature profile on the exit<br />

surface of malt layer at the beginning and the end of drying.<br />

Fig. 5 shows the temperature profile and evolution in cross section dryer<br />

through of malt bed at the beginning and end of drying.
