One-Dimensional Modeling and Measurement of Pulsating Gas-Solid Flow in Tubes

Pulse Combustion Drying

“…Whereas, for a steady flow the inlet air velocity must be constant, a user-defined function must be employed for a pulsating flow in order to calculate the velocity oscillations at the entrance to the dryer. Nonetheless, a few attempts have been made to mathematically model the pulse combustion process (Ponizy and Wojcicki, 1985;Barr et al, 1988;Celik et al, 1993;Morel, 1993;Lindholm, 1995;Kuts et al, 2002 (analytical model); Wu and Liu, 2002;Wu and Mujumdar, 2006a;Wu, 2007), in addition to a small number of validated models (Zbicinski et al, 1999;Smucerowicz, 2000).…”
