The fluidized-bed drum technology involving the combination of a fluidized bed and a
rotating drum is used for the granulation and coating of particles, which has been …

In this work, the performance of a conventional cascading rotary dryer has been compared
with a modified configuration, known as a roto-aerated dryer. The results obtained show that …

Experiments on the residence time distribution (RTD) and axial dispersion for the continuous
flow of sand and broken rice, through a pilot scale rotary kiln at room temperature and …

The purpose of this work was to analyze the hydrodynamic and drying aspects of a rotary
dryer used in a fertilizer industry. A set of equations to predict the solids holdup in the flights …

Conventional rotary dryers are equipped with flights placed parallel along the length of the
shell to promote a rain of solids across the dryer section. In the roto-aerated dryer the hot air …

The mixing processes of slender particles in a rotary dryer fitted with lifters were simulated in
three dimensions. Particle motion was modeled by the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and …

Holdup in flighted rotary dryers can be classified according to its loading state as either over,
under or at design load. The loading state influences the effectiveness of particle to gas heat …

Experiments were carried out on a pilot scale rotary kiln equipped with lifters at room
temperature to investigate the effects of the kiln slope, rotational speed, mass flow rate of …

Drying of solids is of great significance in fertilizer industry as the quality of final product
should meet the commercial required standards. A rotary dryer which has been investigated …

Rotary drums equipped with longitudinal flights are essentially used to dry granular material
to handle high throughputs. The design of the flights is the crucial task that influences the …
