“…The spouted-bed drying consumes less energy compared with other technologies, the dryer used in this method has a low bed height and small size [18]. Continuous drying in a fluidized bed enlarges the drying capacity and decreases the energy consumption [19][20][21][22][23]. Excessive air velocity slightly influences the drying rate, increases energy consumption and wastes high-quality energy [19].…”

Thermal behavior and stresses developed in a wood particle are predicted using a mathematical model formulated for drying in fluidized bed. Drying experiments have been carried out on 10 mm long and 30 mm diameter cylindrical disks at a bed temperature of 403 K (130 C). Drying time, mass reduction, and shrinkage during drying have been measured and used to validate the thermal model. The stress model is validated with an analytical solution available in literature. The drying time is experimentally found to be 630 s. The wood particle shrinks by 4.6% in the radial direction and by 1.0% in the longitudinal direction. The model indicates splitting failure at the circumference, which was also noticed during experiments.

“…Solids in the cloud phase as well as the energy loss through the dryer walls have been neglected. Using a three-phase model, Topuz et al [10] have modeled the grain drying kinetics considering both the constant and falling drying rate periods.…”

A modified three-phase model is developed to simulate the drying of Brachiaria brizantha in fluidized beds. In this new model, the constitutive equation of drying kinetics is formulated including both the constant rate and the falling rate mechanisms; the seed shrinkage is taken into account during all drying operation and the transition between bubbling to slugging regime is delineated for estimating the bubble velocity and size. Such modifications improve the mathematical model to better simulate the drying of coarse particles in fluidized beds. The best estimation of the five adjustable model parameters, which are required to define heat and mass transfer mechanisms between interstitial gas and seed particles and to specify the heat loss from dryer walls to ambient air, is attained by incorporating an optimization routine into the computer model program. Having been specially designed to supply data for this model, experiments are performed in a bath laboratory-scale fluidized bed. Additional data are generated to validate the model and program routines. Results show a good agreement between simulated and experimental data, validating the approach used to describe drying kinetics and particle shrinkage.
