Temperature distribution in a cigarette oven during baking

Abstract

Baking treatment is one of the most important processes of cigarette production, which can significantly enhance quality of tobacco. Theoretical and numerical investigation on temperature distribution in a cigarette oven during baking was carried out. The finite volume method was used to simulate the flow field. The relationship between the uniformity of temperature field and impeller?s speed was given finally, which is helpful to optimize cigarette oven with better quality and less energy consumption.

Design and Temperature Modeling Simulation of the Full Closed Hot Air Circulation Tobacco Bulk Curing Barn

“…The artificial neural network [7] was used to study the distribution of temperature and relative humidity in tobacco drying process. Zhang et al [8] simulated the temperature field in the barn in the drying process of tobacco based on the finite volume method. Wei et al [9] studied the temperature distribution of tobacco baking room through experiments and numerical simulation.…”

Analysis of Temperature and Humidity Field in a New Bulk Tobacco Curing Barn Based on CFD

“…However, numerical studies focusing on tobacco curing barn were rarely considered. Zhang et al [ 10 ] simulated the temperature field in tobacco oven during the drying process of cut tobacco based on the finite volume method. Wei et al [ 11 ] studied the temperature distribution of tobacco curing barn with experiments and numerical simulation.…”
