Abstract Hydrocyclones belong to an important group of equipments designed solid–liquid or liquid–liquid separation in a centrifugal field. It is possible adapt hydrocyclone the accomplishment several industrial activities depending on geometrical relations among its main dimensions. The operation and design these devices are relatively simple; however, flow inside them very complex prediction difficult. For that reason, most models used predict performance empirical ones. objective this...
The purpose of this work was to study the performance a rotary dryer in relation number flights. In an equationing proposed calculate area used by solids two-segment flights with any angle between segments. From area, flight holdup and length fall particles were calculated for different positions results obtained compared experimental values. show increase efficiency up limit value, ideal operational conditions. data on average residence time calculations using equations literature. equation...
Knowledge about the gas and particle dynamics in spouted beds is important evaluation of circulation rates efficiency gas-solid contacts. In this work, mechanism transition from a static bed to was numerically simulated using Eulerian multiphase model. This model applied two distinct geometries: conventional device with draft tube. The radial voidage velocity profiles along longitudinal position annular spout regions were for geometries under study. characteristic curves congruous experimental data.
Inverse problems arise from the necessity of obtaining parameters theoretical models to simulate behavior system for different operating conditions. Several heuristics that mimic phenomena found in nature have been proposed solution this kind problem. In work, Differential Evolution Technique is used estimation drying realistic rotary dryers, which formulated as an optimization problem by using experimental data. Test case results demonstrate both feasibility and effectiveness methodology.
Abstract West Indian cherry, widely known as acerola in Latin America, is a fruit rich vitamin C and other bioactive compounds. In Brazil, the largest producer of world, processing this results large amounts waste or residues. A method that allows these residues to be reused drying. However, residue has low flowability spouted beds due its density high moisture content. Therefore, study, soybean was used an auxiliary material maintain stability fluid dynamics characteristics food end...
