Abstract
An empirical equation as a function of drying time and temperature was developed to calculate the moisture ratio required Tor balch fluidized bed dryers design for amaranth grain drying The relative deviations of the moisture ratio values calculated with the proposed equation with regard to the experimental ones ranged between 0.014 and 0.095 for a drying air temperature between 60 and 100 ° C, and a grain initial moisture content between 23.5 and 16.6 % wb.Keywords
