The performance of continuous vibrating fluidised bed drying of corn grits was simulated (using a previously validated mathematical model) and analysed based on the first- and second laws of thermodynamics. The energy and exergy analyses were performed for several drying conditions. The effects of inlet air velocity and temperature, vibration intensity, and particle size on the efficiencies and inefficiencies of the drying process have been simulated and discussed. Generally, the application of vibration during fluidised bed drying enhanced the drying process. The application of higher levels of drying air temperature and velocity led to higher exergy efficiencies and energy utilisation. Also, the exergy loss had maximum value when higher drying air temperature and velocity were used for the drying process.
