24 Fixed Film Stationary Bed and Fluidized Bed Reactors

Application of three Types of Dryers Namely Tunnel, Fluidized Bed, and Fluidized Bed with Microwave for Drying of Celery, Corn, and Sour Cherry: Experiments and Modeling (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In this paper, water content from celery, corn, and sour cherry were removed through tunnel, fluidized bed, and fluidized bed with microwave dryers. One day before performing the experiments, the fruits were put into a refrigerator and were ground into slices with average dimensions of 5×8×8 mm. For each experiment, 40 g of the samples were inserted in dryers. Moisture content in the samples wa...

Fluidized Bed Drying of Fruits and Vegetables: An Overview

The quest for novel technologies in the area of food processing & preservation has led to the application of fluidization technique for enhancing the process capabilities, energy efficiencies and overall quality retention in the final products. However, this paper reviews the various fruits and vegetables dried in the fluidized bed dryer and their retention of sensory attributes in the dried pr...

Continuous Fluidized Bed Drying With and Without Internals: Kinetic Model

Spirals as internals are utilized to reduce the axial mixing of solids in fluidized beds, by routing the solids flow in a predetermined route or by localizing the solids mixing. The drying kinetics of continuous fluidized bed with and without internals has been compared and modeled using batch drying kinetics and residence time distribution analysis. The batch drying experiments were conducted ...

fluidized bed drying characteristics of soybeans

the present study investigated the influence of air temperature and velocity on the drying kinetics and specific energy consumption during fluidized bed drying of soybean at 80, 100, 120 and 140ºc and airflow rates of 1.8, 3.1 and 4.5 m s-1. six mathematical models for describing the fluidized bed drying behavior were investigated. the value of the drying rate coefficient (k) increased with inc...
