Abstract
In this study, drying characteristics of canola seeds were determined using heated ambient air at 40, 50 and 60°C, relative humidity of 20, 40 and 60% and constant velocity of 3 m/s. To select a suitable drying curve, six thin-layer drying models were fitted to experimental data. The models were compared according to three statistical parameters: R2, reduced chi-square (χ2) and root mean square error. Using some experimental data, an Artificial neural network model, trained by Feed Forward Back-Propagation algorithm, was developed to predict moisture ratio values based on the three input variables. Different activation functions and several rules were used to assess percentage error between the desired and predicted values. According to the results, the approximation of diffusion drying model had better agreement with the drying data. The artificial neural network model was able to predict the moisture ratio quite well with R2 of 0.9994. The predicted mean square error was obtained as 0.00012575.
