What Is Important in the Simulation of Spray Dryer Performance and How Do Current Cfd Models Perform?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spray dryers are of considerable importance in many industrial drying operations, yet their modelling has been relatively neglected. Here we present a summary of many years work performed at Sydney University investigating the fundamental flow behaviour in dryers and their modelling using a commercial CFD code. The key point to emerge is the need to perform three dimensional, transient calculations and to include hindered drying and wall interaction models if important issues of flow stability and wall deposition are to be studied.

CFD Simulation and Optimization of Factors Affecting the Performance of a Fluidized Bed Dryer
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a computational technology that enables researchers to study the dynamics of things that flow. By using CFD, it is possible to build a computational model that represents a system under study. It not only predicts fluid flow behavior, but also the transfer of heat, mass, phase change, chemical reaction, mechanical movement, and stress or deformation of ...

متن کاملInvestigating the Treatment of Oil and Gas Produced Water Using a Spray Dryer on a Bench Scale
The current work investigates the performance of a single-stage, bench-scale system using a spray dryer to treat produced water. The produced water is generated in three large reservoirs of Ahvaz, Maroon, and Mansouri fields, which have different compositions but the same high total dissolved solids (TDS) and total organic carbon (TOC). The results of this study indicate that the newly develope...

متن کاملCFD Simulations of a Co-current Spray Dryer
This paper presents the prediction of air flow, humidity and temperature patterns in a co-current pilot plant spray dryer fitted with a pressure nozzle using a three dimensional model. The modelling was done with a Computational Fluid Dynamic package (Fluent 6.3), in which the gas phase is modelled as continuum using the Euler approach and the droplet/ particle phase is modelled by the Discrete...
