Simulation of a cross-flow continuous fluidized-bed dryer for paddy rice.

Author(s) : IZADIFAR M., MOWLA D.

Summary

A mathematical model is developed to simulate the drying of moist paddy in a cross-flow continuous fluidized bed dryer. The model is based on the differential equations, which are obtained by applying the conservation of mass and energy to each element of the dryer and also on the drying properties of paddy. Different fluidizing characteristics of paddy, needed in the computer program, are determined from the drying experiments in the literature. Some experimental data of the fluidized bed dryer are used to validate the predictions of the model, which show good agreement with experimental results.
