“…Hence, its application and simulation use cannot be overemphasised especially in the drying processes. The use of CFD in numerical analysis has shown good results in solving problems of fluid flow with heat and mass transfer, [10] and this has attracted many researchers due to its industrial, environmental, and scientific applications, [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]. [19], analyzed the process of using CFD modeling with the developed threedimensional FBD model while, [20], studied a bubbling flow in a 2D pulsed fluidized bed dryer using the Eulerian approach, and their results showed that pressure changes inside the bed, was due to the formation of air bubbles at minimal frequency pulsating inlet flow causing intermittent fluidized state.…”

The application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the design of industrial thermal process equipment is of great importance. Food drying is an important process in the sugar processing industry as it helps in the easy of transportation and storage, and also increases the life span of food. In this study a two-dimensional (2D) fluidized bed dryer is designed in the Blockmesh Dict file an application in the OpenFOAM with dimensions height 0.8m and diameter 0.5m. The Navier-Stokes equations were solved to provide the flow variation that occurs inside the fluidized bed dryer in terms of temperature and velocity. For optimization of results, Taguchi analysis was considered and the results show that at a very low temperature below 50°C, the sugar drying process is slow leading to much time being spent for effective sugar drying. Also an increase in flow velocity results in a faster drying rate of sugar granules. During the optimization of the performance of the fluidized sugar bed dryer, the percentage contribution of sugar granules diameter is more significant than other factors and it was also noted that pressure has less significance on the drying process within the fluidized bed.

“…For instance, Arumuganathan et al (2017) analyzed the drying of mushrooms using an FBD, and they found that the temperature of a hot air feed affects the rate of drying. They also established that the optimum temperature for the drying of mushrooms is 60°C (Arumuganathan et al, 2017). Other than that, Mortier et al (2011) applied the CFD simulation approach to analyze the drying profile of wheat grains in an FBD to predict the moisture content of solids at various drying times by applying Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid models and the kinetic theory.…”

Sago is an essential source of starch for some regions in the third and developing world. However, the sago processing industry has been producing a large amount of sago waste, and the untreated waste is usually disposed to the nearest river. It not only leads to the environmental problem, but it is illegal under the Environmental Quality Act 1974. Since the sago waste still has high starch content, which is 58%, it can be converted to high value-added products such as poultry feed. However, before being converted to other products, the sago must be dried to remove the moisture content to prevent any bacteria growth and ensure safety health issues have been observed. Recently, drying of sago bagasse using a fluidized bed dryer (FBD) has gained attention since the dry rate of the material is considerably faster compared to other methods. Due to that reason, the drying of the sago bagasse in the FBD is studied using computational fluid dynamic as it can be executed in a short period of time compared to the experimental approach. The FBD model was developed using ANSYS© Fluent academic version 19.2. The effect of the hot air feed temperature; T=50, 60, 70, and 80°C and velocity of hot air feed; v=1-4 m/s on the sago’s behavior and performance of fluidization profile were studied. The simulation results showed that the high temperature and air feed velocity would result in a rapid drying rate. Besides, the optimum drying rate was at T=60°C with the v=4 m/s as these conditions give a shorter drying time to achieve of final 10% moisture content. It also has the added advantages of reducing the power energy and cost supply. These optimal conditions are very crucial and should be consider as the dried sago bagasse tend to be retrograded when a higher temperature is applied.
