Abstract:Experiments on drying of moist particles by ambient air were carried out to measure the mass transfer coefficient in a bubbling fluidized bed. Fine glass beads of mean diameter 125 m were used as the bed material. Throughout the drying process, the dynamic material distribution was recorded by Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) and the exit air condition was recorded by a temp/humidity probe. The ECT data were used to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the bubble characteristics. The exit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
