Abstract: | A commonly used method to dry fine solid particles is drying in a fluidized bed. This paper presents the optimization problem
of fluidized drying of fine solids. A drying process proceeding in a three-stage cascade of fluidized cross-current dryers
was considered. Solid flows from stage to stage, and fresh gas is introduced to each stage of the cascade. The hydrodynamics
of bubble fluidized bed and kinetics of heat and mass transfer are taken into account. The bed hydrodynamics is described
by a two-phase model. The drying process considered proceeds in the second period of drying. To optimize this problem a generalized
version of a discrete algorithm with constant Hamiltonian was used. The optimization procedure is presented in the paper.
In optimization calculations, gas parameters (temperature, humidity and flow rate) minimizing total process cost are sought.
The results of calculation are presented as graphs. The results obtained and the conclusions drawn are discussed. |
