Modeling and experimental study of hydrodynamic and drying characteristics of an industrial rotary dryer

The purpose of this work was to analyze the hydrodynamic and drying aspects of a rotary dryer used in a fertilizer industry. A set of equations to predict the solids holdup in the flights, the length of fall, the residence time of particles and the drying variables was evaluated by comparison to exp...
