A CFD Study of the Air Distribution at Non-Conventional Dryers Using Different Configurations of Mini Pipes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rotary dryers are a significant capital item for many industrial plants. Many potential benefits can be obtained through a greater understanding of the rotary drying process. In order to improve drying efficacy, a novel version of the rotary dryer, known as the rotoaerated dryer, was evaluated in previous studies. This work has studied the effect of the configuration and arrangement of mini-pipes in the rotoaerated dryers by experimental and CFD techniques. The results obtained showed that it was possible to predict the effect of variations in the configuration of the rotoaerated dryer and obtain the more appropriate arrangement of mini-pipes.
