ResumoAbstract The bulk volume shrinkage was linearly related to instantaneous grain moisture reduction. The shrinkage coefficient was found to be primarily a function of air relative humidity. The Bakker-Arkema's bulk grain drying model was modified to incorporate the shrinkage equation. A correction factor for thin layer drying equation was also introduced to reduce deviation between the experimental and simulated moisture content. The Bakker-Arkema model showed significant improvement due to these modifications.
