Investigation of mass flow properties of particles in Silo Dryers
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovative Research in Advanced Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The most relevant question of the mixing systems used in silo dryers is the mixing efficiency of screw augers. The aim of design is that the construction stirs the granular assembly on an optimal level i.e. mixing should be uniform and the mixed amount should as much as possible. Although the mixing process appears unsophisticated, it is a very complex phenomenon. Engineers and researchers work on this field, use mostly experimental data for designing and development because there not too much is known about what happens around the rotating mixing screw. In our prior work, the mixing efficiency and effective radius were determined [3]. In the present article, we investigate the mixing process with a mass flow rate, which determined with cylindrical volumes along the vertical axis. To model this phenomenon, we used the EDEM Academic 2.7. discrete element software
