Rice is the main food in Indonesia. drying by using traditional method directly under sun light can require a long time to complete. The aim of this study investigate appropriate kinetics modeling rice with applied fluidized bed dryer. A 2-cm thickness has been dried at various temperatures (50℃, 60℃, and 70℃) air velocity 10 m/s from hot dryer obtained pyrolysis process. selected based on agre...

heat transfer phenomena in batch fluidized bed dryer have been studied and analyzed using three phase model including solid phase, interstitial gas phase and bubble phase based on rizzi model. new correlations of heat transfer coefficient to surrounding and convection heat transfer coefficient between solid and interstitial gas are being proposed. in addition, some modifications have been done ...

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 ...

The disposal of Waste Activated Sludge is a major problem. The paper presents several disposal routes. The ultimate steps in these routes are indirect drying and subsequent incineration. Although the design of the indirect dryers is straightforward from a required heat input, operating temperature difference between sludge bed and heating medium and the heat transfer coefficient, this coefficie...

modeling of drying kinetics of canola was studied at 30 to 100 ?c in a lab scale fluidized bed dryer. drying rate of the crop was assessed, using many conventional moisture ratio models employed in food science. effective diffusivity coefficient (deff) and activation energy (ea) of kernel moisture were determined using fick's law of diffusion and arrhenius equation. besides, the effects of...

canola is known as an important oilseeds crop throughout the world. cultivation and subsequent oil extraction of this crop has gained substatantial development in recent years in iran. many parts of iran (northern provinces) especially golestan and mazandarn are of high relative humidity during harvesting season as well as during storage periods. spoilage and rancidity are problems more encount...
