Study of hydrodynamic behaviour in a conical fluidized bed dryer using pressure fluctuation analysis and X-ray densitometry

Fluidized bed dryers (FBDs) are used in the pharmaceutical industry to remove excess moisture from granule prior to tablet formation. As granule moisture content is reduced from its initial to final state, the velocity required to fully fluidize the granule decreases and the bed voidage decreases. T...
