Abstract: | This article concerns the simultaneous processes of agglomeration and drying. In order to predict temperatures and moisture content in gas and particle phase, heat and mass transfer mechanism and particle size enlargement has been considered in one model. The model takes heat and mass transfer phenomena between particle phase, suspension gas, and bypass gas into account. The disperse phase is modeled by a three-dimensional population balance (PBE), which can be reduced to a set of three one-dimensional PBEs. The latter are coupled with heat and mass transfer balances of the gas phase. Furthermore, some simulation and experimental results are presented. |
