Abstract
Experiments were conducted to determine moisture diffusivity (drying rate) of bulk paddy variety, `R.D.-11' employing constant diffusivity method and the moisture profile analysis for various time durations. The tests were conducted with different combinations of temperature and relative humidity ranging from 28.55°C to 51.9°C and 34.6% to 83.55%, respectively. It was found that with the increase in temperature from 28.55°C to 51.9°C and the relative humidity of 49.62%, almost 14.9% increase in the diffusivity values of paddy was recorded.
