Modeling of sawdust drying in spouted beds using solar energy and phase change materials

A. Reyes et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the modeling and simulation of continuous drying of sawdust using spouted beds connected in series and a solar energy accumulator panel. The modeling approach is based on energy balances for the solar energy accumulator panel and a combination of residence time distribution, drying kinetics, and micro-mixing models for the dryer. Model parameters were adjusted and validated using experimental data. The results showed that the increase in spouted bed units has a greater impact on moisture content leaving the dryer.
