Abstract

The objective of this work was to derive and experimentally verify a hybrid CST/neural network model to determine the moisture content of the powders produced during paste drying in a spouted bed and describe the highly coupled heat and the mass transfer. The model was derived from overall energy and mass balances with effective drying kinetics given by a neural network. Simulations were performed in MatLab and drying experiments for model verification were carried out for different pastes in a conical, semi-pilot-scale spouted bed.
