Abstract
A stochastic modeling approach based on a Monte Carlo method for fluidized bed layering and coating is presented. In this method, the process is described by droplet deposition on the particle surface, droplet drying and the formation of a solid layer due to drying. The model is able to provide information about the coating coverage (fraction of the particle surface covered with coating), the particle‐size distribution, and the layer thickness distribution of single particles. Analytical solutions for simplified test cases are used to validate the model theoretically. The simulation results are compared with experimental data on particle‐size distributions and layer thickness distributions of single particles coated in a lab‐scale fluidized bed. Good agreement between the simulation results and the measured data is observed. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 2670–2680, 2016
