Computer Simulation of Drying Process in Tube Rotary Dryer

Abstract:

With the particle transfer model and object-oriented programming method, the initiatory computer simulation software of indirect drying process is developed in windows XP system and MFC environment. The overall coefficient of heat transfer in the drying process and the changes of material humidity and temperature between the inlet and outlet are calculated by the simulation software. The actual test data verify that the computer simulation software is convenient, effective and reliable.
