A study has been conducted on the performance of a draft tube conical spouted bed for
drying fine particles. Batch operation has been performed with nonporous, porous, and open …

Fluidized bed dryers (FBDs) are used extensively for the drying of wet particulate and
granular materials, and even slurries, pastes, and suspensions, that can be fluidized in beds …

The spout-fluid bed (SFB) is a very successful synthesis of the spouting and fluidization. The
hydrodynamics of SFB are more complex than both fluidized beds and spouted beds. Up-to …

Consumer-driven products have kept the food industry at the forefront of technological
innovations. For example, the redefinition of the once accepted compromise between …

The drying of sawdust was studied in a conical spouted bed pilot plant in order to adapt this
feed for the pyrolysis process. Air at different temperatures was used and the effect of …

Drying behaviour of maize and green peas was investigated in a bench scale fluidized bed
dryer with an inert energy carrier (2.7 mm glass beads and steel balls). The effects of drying …

This paper aims to analyze air–solid flow behavior in conical spouted beds composed of
glass bead mixtures coated by glycerol. Four mixtures of glass beads are used as the solid …

Combination of microwave-vacuum drying and conventional vacuum drying was
investigated as a potential method for drying concentrated Ganoderma lucidum extraction …

A study has been carried out on the influence process conditions and design parameters
have on the drying in a conical spouted bed. Optimum parameters have been determined for …

A pilot scale fluidized bed dryer with an inert energy carrier (steel, glass beads ranging from
2.7 to 6.5 mm) was used to investigate the drying of carrots. The effects of sample diameter …
