Improving operability of spouted beds using a simple optimizing control structure

In operations using spouted beds, it is of major importance, from an energy consumption point of view, to operate the process as close as possible to the minimum spout flow. At this point, the speed of the gas (for example, warm air in drying operations) is greater than the amount of heat and mass t...
