Modeling and simulation of drying characteristics on flexible filamentous particles in rotary dryers
Experiments were conducted to demonstrate the effects of the drum wall temperature on the heat and mass transfer in rotary dryers. The drying characteristics of flexible filamentous particles in rotary dryers were further explored. In addition, the inlet and outlet temperatures and moisture contents of granular particles were measured. As a result, the good agreement between the simulations and experiments verified the rationale and feasibility of the numerical method. Therefore, the approach was adopted to evaluate the temperature and moisture content of wet granular particles in a rotary dryer in different conditions, for instance, drum wall temperature and rotational speed. The results revealed that the higher drum wall temperature led to hotter particles with lower outlet moisture content. Conversely, the higher rotational speed resulted in cooler particles with higher outlet moisture content due to the decrease of residence time in the rotary dryer.
