Spray-drying combustion

Because of the industrial importance of operations involving mass transfer from drops or particles (e.g., spray drying, combustion of liquid fuels), this topic has received much attention. An early outstanding study was that of Ranz and Marshall [5], whose experimental results on the evaporation of drops were correlated by the equation...

While the rotary dryer shown is commonly used for grains and minerals, this system has been successfully applied to fluid-bed diying of plastic pellets, air-hft diying of wood fibers, and spray drying of milk solids. The air may be steam-heated as shown or heated By direct combustion of fuel, provided that a representative measurement of inlet air temperature can be made. If it cannot, then evaporative load can be inferred from a measurement of fuel flow, replacing AT in the set point calculation.

Atomization of normal liquids has been long studied in the fields of spray combustion and spray drying. The most widespread application of the atomization of normal liquids is in spray... 

Emphasis is placed on the atomization processes used in spray combustion and spray drying from which many atomization processes have evolved. Advantages and limitations of the atomization systems are discussed along with typical ranges of operation conditions, design characteristics, and actual and potential applications. The physical properties of some normal liquids are listed in Table...

In addition to the designs mentioned above, other atomizer configurations such as those used in spray combustion and spray drying processes may also be considered as an alternative in gas atomization of melts for special purposes after appropriate modifications. 

Many laser-based droplet diagnostic techniques have evolved from the fields such as spray combustion and spray drying. Phase-Doppler particle analyzer is now recognized as the most successful and advanced diagnostic instrument for spray characterization. Other proven diagnostic techniques include laser velocimetry and... 

Other applications of microparticles include spray drying, stack gas scrubbing, particle and droplet combustion, catalytic conversion of gases, fog formation, and nucleation. The removal of SO2 formed in the combustion of high-sulfur coal can be accomplished by adding limestone to coal in a fluidized bed combustor. The formation of CaO leads to the reaction...
