Rotary Drum: Fluid Dynamics, Dimensioning Criteria, and Industrial Applications (Advances in Drying Science and Technology)

by Marcos Antonio de Souza Barrozo (Author), Dyrney Araújo Dos Santos (Author), Cláudio Roberto Duarte (Author), Suellen Mendonça Nascimento (Author) 

Rotary Drum: Fluid Dynamics, Dimensioning Criteria, and Industrial Applications provides in-depth analysis of fluid dynamics in rotary drums. In addition, it provides analysis on the different configurations, including nonconventional ones, diverse industrial applications, and comparison with competing dryer types, as well as the modeling of these devices.

Covering important aspects of fluid dynamics in rotary drums, which directly influence the drying performance, the book also considers the significant cost of conventional rotary dryers. It takes into account the scale-up of rotary dryers and the control of product quality during processing, which can leave the final product overdried and overheated, wasting thermal energy.

The book serves as a useful reference for researchers, graduate students, and engineers in the field of drying technology.
