DRYING PROCESSES
Drying
is perhaps the oldest, most common
and most diverse of chemical engineering unit
operations.
Over
four hundred types of dryers have been
reported in the literature while over one
hundred distinct types are commonly available.
Energy
consumption in drying ranges from a
low value of under five percent for the chemical
process industries to thirty five percent for the
papermaking operations.
DRYING PROCESSES
Objective
- removal of solvents
Contact solids with fluid not saturated with
solvent
Economics
Recover
solvent
Avoid shipping solvent
May avoid spoilage

TUNNEL DRYERS
Move material on belt or conveyor through drying zone
Used for a wide range of free-flowing particulates (granular, flake or
fibrous)
Used for pastes and filter cakes with even application to belt
Drying times approximately 5 - 120 minutes
Large capacity is practical with these units

ROTARY DRYERS
Drop solids through counter current flowing hot gases
Can be lined with refractory to allow very high temperature
operation
High volume with wide stable operating range
Residence times typically measured in minutes

DRUM AND WIPED-FILM DRYERS
Drum dryers
Thin film dryers with indirect heating
Slurry applied to drum and dried solid removed (see fig. 9.2-4)
Wiped film dryers
Inverse of drum dryer with internal wiper to apply film to vertical surface
Material leaving dryer must be free flowing
High thermal efficiency

Contact flow with concurrent flow of hot
air
Solids may be entrained
Solids may fall through air
May incorporate cyclone
May incorporate sprayer to produce
slurry droplets

Heat Transfer
Heat always moves from a warmer place to a
cooler place.
Hot objects in a cooler room will cool to room
temperature.
Cold objects in a warmer room will heat up to room
temperature.
Question
If a cup of coffee and a red popsickle were
left on the table in this room what would
happen to them? Why?
The cup of coffee will cool until it reaches room
temperature. The popsickle will melt and then
the liquid will warm to room temperature.
Basics to heat transfer
(1) Heat (Q) = a form of energy [ J or Btu ]
(2) Rate of heat transfer (q) = amount of heat (J, Btu)
unit time (s ,hr)
*** (J/s = Watts)
(3) Nature of heat flow
“Net heat flow is always
in the direction of
temperature decrease”
(4) Heat flux
= rate of heat flow per unit area
=
q/A

(5) Temperature gradient = changes of temperature
with distance, i.e. for x
direction = dT/dx [°C/m]
Heat Transfer Methods
Heat transfers in three ways:
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Conduction
When you heat a metal strip at one end, the heat
travels to the other end.
As you heat the metal, the particles vibrate, these
vibrations make the adjacent particles vibrate, and so on
and so on, the vibrations are passed along the metal and
so is the heat. We call this? Conduction
Metals are different
The outer e______
lectrons of metal atoms
drift, and are free to move.
When the metal is heated, this
‘sea of electrons’ gain k_____
energy and transfer it
inetic
throughout the metal.
Insulators, such as w___ and
ood
p____, do not
lastic
have this ‘sea of
electrons’ which is why they do not conduct heat as well as
metals.
Why does metal feel colder than wood, if they
are both at the same temperature?
Metal is a conductor, wood is an insulator. Metal
conducts the heat away from your hands. Wood
does not conduct the heat away from your hands as
well as the metal, so the wood feels warmer than
the metal.
* Heat Transfer by Conduction
- If temperature gradient exists in a continuous
substance (solid, fluid and gas), heat can flow without
observable motion of matter.
- Heat flux is oppositely proportional to the
temperature gradient (Fourier’s law)

What happens to the particles in a liquid or a

become less dense.

Why is it windy at the seaside?
Cold air sinks
Where is the
freezer
compartment
put in a fridge?
It is put at the top,
because cool air sinks,
so it cools the food on
the way down.
Freezer
compartment
It is warmer at the
bottom, so this
warmer air rises
and a convection
current is set up.

also flow patterns**

The third method of heat transfer
How does heat energy get from
the Sun to the Earth?
?
There are no particles between the
Sun and the Earth so it CANNOT
travel by conduction or by
convection.
RADIATION
Radiation
Radiation travels in straight lines
True/False
Radiation can travel through a vacuum
True/False
Radiation requires particles to travel
True/False
Radiation travels at the speed of light

container would have the warmest water after ten minutes?
Dull metal
Shiny metal
Shiny black
Dull black
dull black container would be the warmest after ten minutes
The __________
shiny metal
because its surface absorbs heat radiation
_______ the best. The _________
container would be the coolest because it is the poorest at
absorbing heat radiation.

*Heat Transfer by Radiation
Transfer of energy through space by
electromagnetic waves
Through empty space, energy not transformed nor
diverted
Through matters, transmitted, reflected, or
absorbed
Absorbed energy is in form of heat
