Abstract
The rotary kilns are widely used in chemical, food and metallurgical industries, and the design load of the internal flights has a significant effect on the drying efficiency of the rotary kilns. The motion of granular flow and heat absorption process inside the rotary kilns were simulated by establishing a coupled CFD and DEM model. The average heat absorption rate of granules was proposed to simulate the “L” type and three segments flights, and the results showed that the average heat absorption rate of granules was in accordance with the conclusions of previous scholars. We used the average heat absorption method of granules to optimize the structural parameters of the “J” type flights design load, the best parameter was obtained, and then compared with the “L” type and three segments of the flights, we found that the drying efficiency of “J” type flights is the best, followed by three segments and “L” type is found to be the worst. At the same time, the active region was divided to explore the relationship between the area occupied by the granules in different regions and the average heat absorption rate of granules, and it was found that under the same shape of the flights, the larger the area occupied by the granules in region 2, the larger the corresponding average heat absorption rate of granules.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
