Stochastic Modeling of Fluidized Bed Agglomeration: Determination of Particle Moisture Content
2013
Dernedde, Mathias | Peglow, Mirko | Tsotsas, Evangelos
The present study describes the theoretical modeling of particle formation by agglomeration in fluidized beds. The model is mathematically solved by applying a stochastic Monte Carlo method. It takes into account the complete droplet history (predrying during flight, spreading, solidification and penetration after deposition on a particle) so that thermal effects such as the increase in fluidization gas mass flow or gas temperature have a physically based impact on process kinetics. Contradictions between measured and simulated particle moisture contents were found. Thus, we present a modified drying model and compare results with experimental data.
