Abstract
An original method was proposed for the determination of the mean residence time in a continuous dryer, based on the step-change in the solids feed rate. The method has been validated through experiments performed in a pilot-scale rotary dryer. The effect of the solids flow rate, gas flow rate, dryer rotation speed, and dryer slope was quantified. Several design correlations to predict the residence time in rotary dryers were critically evaluated, and a new, more accurate correlation was derived. #The copyright is held by © Her Majesty The Queen in Right of Canada, represented by The Minister of Natural Resources, 2003.
