Computer Simulation of Industrial Dryers

ABSTRACT

The use of computers to perform simulation of chemical engineering processes has lead to the development of software tools that Perform most tedious computations in the field of process analysis and design. The most popular Structures regarding process simulation of conventional and specialized processes are analyzed properly by considering the basic parts of commercial programs. Computational procedures. graphical aspects. management of properties database are outlined. Modeling aspects of drying technology regarding simulation are summarized and classified. The need for specialized software and development efforts in the field of commercial dryers simulation are enlohasized and nppropriately addressed. Moderm aspects. such as obiectoriented programming in simulation of industrial dryers are suitably presented and various case studies are used to indicate the effectiveness of modern simulation methods in the field of dryers operation.
