DRYING BEHAVIOR OF PEANUTS USING A ROTARY DRYER

Fuzzy modelling for a rotary dryer

In this research a fuzzy model is developed for a rotary dryer. It is applied to the pilot plant rotary dryer located in the Control Engineering Laboratory at Oulu University. Firstly, a literature review looking at the current situation of fuzzy modelling and comparison of different methods is done. One modelling method is then applied to the building of the model from data. The rule parameter...

The Experimental Survey on the Rotary Dryer Performance: Drying of Wetted Salt from Effluent Bio Wastewater

The drying is a basic operation of enormous commercial importance in all industrial applications ranging through the food, agricultural, mining and even manufacturing sectors [1]. Modern societies need better product quality, enhanced safety practices and more environmentally benign operations as well as higher productivity, better energy yield and reduced material wastage, also [2]. As drying ...

Dynamic Simulation of an Industrial Rotary Dryer

Experimental Investigation of Drying Behavior of Rosehip in a Cyclone-Type Dryer

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the drying behavior and conditions of rosehip in a convective cyclone-type dryer. Drying experiments were conducted at air inlet temperatures of 50, 60 and 70 o C and air velocities of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 ms. The parametric values obtained from the experiments were fitted to the Newton mathematical models. Consequently, the drying model developed...

Mass Transfer 1. Application of Full Factorial Design in the Measurement of Drying Rates of a Rotary Dryer

1. APPLICATION OF FULL FACTORIAL DESIGN IN THE MEASUREMENT OF DRYING RATES OF A ROTARY DRYER Drying is a physical separation process which enables to remove the liquid phase from a solid, semisolid or liquids by means of thermal energy. The aim of the experiment is to observe how various operational parameters affect the drying process in a rotary dryer. In drying process, heat is transferred b...
