Abstract

In recent years, the new type of tumble waste dryer has been promoted and developed. Heat generation through phase transition is an environmental, friendly and efficient heat transfer drying method. In order to know under what conditions the water vapor has higher heat transfer efficiency in the semi-circular cylinder and more sufficient liquid phase transition, and under what conditions the quantity of heat transferred can be exactly controlled, we carried out relevant work. Based on the analysis of two-phase heat transfer of rotating body, a three-dimension model of garbage dryer is established. Then, the commercial CFD software ANSYS Fluent is used to simulate the two-phase flow in the semi-circular cylinder, and the simulation calculation is carried out. Finally, the theoretical calculation results are verified by experiments. Calculated by the simulation results analysis: according to the industrial use of setting conditions, simulation calculation results can achieve convergence, namely water vapor through the pipe wall heat conduction. Finally condense into liquid water, and to ensure that the liquid cavity in the body has a higher volume fraction, water vapor phase change rate is of more than 90%, the Nusselt number of the heat transfer surface is 60 to 300.

Summary

Introduction

The treatment of municipal solid waste has gradually been upgraded from the primary treatment methods such as simple removal, field stacking and open-air simple landfill to advanced treatment methods such as composting fermentation, sanitary filling, biodegradation, incineration power generation and resource utilization. The main content is the setting of the simulation conditions of the two-phase flow model of rotary heat transfer. Ademiluyi [5] et al of Nigeria have studied the effect of drying parameters on the heat transfer of rotary dryers. The results showed that the inlet temperature, inlet velocity, and feed rate have significant effects on the specific heat transfer coefficient and heat load of the material. A model for predicting the specific heat transfer coefficient of the heat load function is as a function of the inlet air temperature and velocity. The above-mentioned literature focuses on structural design and material handling for the research of rotary dryers, but does not study the heat transfer conditions and heat transfer medium and temperature. 2) The temperature changes and heat transfer in the dryer under different inlet flow rates and inlet structures were investigated. We draw the following conclusions: 1) The heat transfer coefficient in the dryer increases as the inlet flow rate increases. 2) The phase change rate in the dryer decreases as the inlet flow rate increases. 3) Increasing the number of inlets in the dryer structure can effectively increase heat transfer efficiency. 4) Within a certain speed, the dryer speed has little effect on the heat transfer results
