Abstract
This work presents a comparative study of four drying processes of a porous media: superheated steam drying at atmospheric pressure (APSSD), humid air (HA), low pressure superheated steam drying (LPSSD) and vacuum drying (VD). A single porous particle model has been developed to simulate the four drying processes. The model is based on the method of averaging volume. Spherical porous particles of coal are used as the model material in this paper. The evaporation rates are equal for these processes in point called the inversion temperature. This temperature was calculated during the constant rate period (CRP) and the falling rate period (FRP). A variation in the values of inversion temperature was observed (363-503 K). The effect of drying parameters such as: particle radius, gas mass flux, permeability, porosity and operating pressure were investigated. Several researchers have reported the noticeable variation of the inversion temperature values according to the drying period used to calculate this key parameter. Our results are compared with those obtained from a front model reported in the literature. A good agreement is found.
期刊介绍:
High Temperatures – High Pressures (HTHP) is an international journal publishing original peer-reviewed papers devoted to experimental and theoretical studies on thermophysical properties of matter, as well as experimental and modelling solutions for applications where control of thermophysical properties is critical, e.g. additive manufacturing. These studies deal with thermodynamic, thermal, and mechanical behaviour of materials, including transport and radiative properties. The journal provides a platform for disseminating knowledge of thermophysical properties, their measurement, their applications, equipment and techniques. HTHP covers the thermophysical properties of gases, liquids, and solids at all temperatures and under all physical conditions, with special emphasis on matter and applications under extreme conditions, e.g. high temperatures and high pressures. Additionally, HTHP publishes authoritative reviews of advances in thermophysics research, critical compilations of existing data, new technology, and industrial applications, plus book reviews.
