Energy use pattern in rice milling industries—a
· Hence, a rice mill having capacity of one tonne per hour producing 200 kg of husk per hour is capable of generating 6,00,000 kcal (700 kWh) of heat energy per hour. Thus, if an overall energy conversion efficiency of 41 % is assumed from the system, a surplus energy to the extent of 5, 00,000 kcal ( kWh) could be available with the mill where parboiling operations are not carried
