Drying operations in iron ore processing plants have a particularly high energy demand due to the massive solid flow rates employed this industry. A 33 full-factorial design was applied investigate effects of air temperature, airflow velocity, and solids load on drying time specific consumption (SEC) convective fines fixed bed. The results demonstrated that each condition associated with an opt...

Convective drying is the most common method, and mathematical modelling of dewatering process an essential part it, playing important role in development optimization devices. Modelling leek can be difficult as specific structure this vegetable, which slices are delaminated into uneven single rings at different times during material surface changes more than other vegetables. This study aimed p...
