Analysis of Heat Penetration into the Solid Bed of Rotary Drums
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The heat penetration into the solid bed of rotary drums was experimentally investigated. An indirect heated rotary drum with a diameter of D=600 mm and a length L=450 mm has been used for this purpose. Temperature profiles of the gas, the drum wall and the solid bed were measured using 16 Type K thermocouples assembled on both a rotating and a fixed rod that attached inside the drum. Hence, the temperature distribution inside the solid bed was analyzed from these temperature profiles. Two different solid bed materials, steel spheres and glass beads, were used in the experiments. These materials differ in particle diameter and thermo physical properties (density, heat capacity and thermal conductivity). The rotational speed was varied from 1 to 6 rpm while the filling degree was varied from 10% to 20% to see their influence on the heat penetration in the moving solid bed.

Material Flow in Rotary Drums
The experimental investigation of material flow in rotary drums is studied. An equipment in the size of pilot-scale was used to collect experimental data for investigation of validity of the conventional steady-state model of material flow in rotary drums. Also, the transient data of the time required for material movement in the empty drum up to any specified cross section are also reported. T...
متن کاملBed Voidage and Heat Transfer in Non-Newtonian Liquid-Solid Fluidized Bed
The presence of particles in liquid-solid fluidized beds enhances the bed heat transfer, because the movement of the particles leads to an increased turbulence in the system. Moreover, the violent movement of the particles has a positive effect on fouling of the heat transfer surface. The aim of this investigation was to perform systematic measurements of bed voidage and heat transfer coeff...
