摘要: The experiments of one-stage semi-circular and two-stage semi-circular impinging stream
drying as wellas the vertical and semi-circular combined impinging stream drying were
carried out. The velocity distribution andthe mean residence time of particles, and the
influence of various factors on drying characteristics were studied. Amathematical model of
granular material drying in a semi-circular impinging stream dryer was proposed, in
whichthe flow characteristics as well as the heat and mass transfer mechanisms were
considered. Reasonable numericalmethods were used to solve the equations. Under various
conditions, the calculated results agree well with theexperimental data. The unsteady-state
drying dynamic equation, as well as the variations of drying rate andmoisture content
versus time were obtained. The results indicate that constant drying rate period does not
existin a semi-circular impinging stream dryer. Appropriate semi-circular stage number and
curvature radius, flow-rateratio, air velocity, and higher inlet air temperature should be
used for enhancing the drying process.
