Abstract
Most of the industries perform drying of solids to enhance the durability of the product. The solid nature and available resources will play an important role in the selection of the dryer and there are more than a hundred types of dryers currently used in different industries. In the dryer, the heat to wet solids is supplied in different ways such as conduction, convection or in combination. The application of fluidisation phenomena to drying will have several advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are the drying rate is higher than most of the dryers, due to the high transfer rate of heat and mass and also applicable for various ranges of particle sizes. In the present study, ambient air is used instead of hot air and also the heat to wet solids is provided from the wall. The significance of conventional parameters and effect of the mixture of solids have been studied.
期刊介绍:
WRSTSD is a multidisciplinary refereed review on issues that will be central to world sustainable development through efficient and effective technology transfer, the challenges these pose for developing countries, and the global framework for dealing with science and technology. The general theme of WRSTSD is to discuss integrated approaches to the problems of technology transfer within an urban and rural development context. The theme has been very carefully chosen to include science and technology and the challenges these represent in terms of sustainable development.
