A model for particle transport in a flighted horizontal rotary dryer is developed in this paper. Mathematical principles applied to the current study are in the areas of differential calculus and analytical geomentry. In contrast to the conventional approaches which are either based on mpirical/semi-empirical correlations or obtained from the investieation of single particle trajectories, this paper develops rigorous mathematical analysis of the transport of bulk solids. A variety of important issues in rotary drying, such as axial flowrate of solids, retention time distribution and solid holdup are addressed and treated by using non-traditional methods. Since the model takes dimension, number and geometry of flights into account, it possesses the following two haracteristics : (1) it is not only useful in the study of rotary drying dynamics, but lso applicable to other processes employing flighted rotating cylinders (such as granulation drumsand crushers) and (2) based on the model, an optimal drum configuration can be designed by using optimisation techniques. The model can be incorporated within a distributed arameter dryer model developed previously to form a more rigorous integrated dynamic model. A heoretical foundation for optimal flight design by using the current model is explained. A pilot scale perspex rotary dryer equipped with a video camera has been constructed and used for model validation. Raw sugar was handled in the experiments. Particle transport was observed and measured by using a flow visualisation technique supplemented with traditional sampling methods. A significant model quality improvement has been observed through a comparative study between the newly developed model and conventional ones. |
