Abstract
The research work is devoted to matematical modeling the deep-bed grain drying process by ventilation. The purpose of research is to determine the thicknessof the first and the next stew upon grain layers dependent on different grain moistures. The mathematical model encloses a set of four partial differential equations which contain grain and air temperature, grain moisture and air humidity. Initial and boundary conditions for the system are constant values. The system with initial and boundary conditions is solved numerically by weighted time and space finite differences. The permissible thickness of the first and the next strew upon grain layers for various grain moistures that doesn’t provoke grain deterioration is fixed. It is 1.5–2 times greater as that is used in production.
