This work presents a one-phase two-dimensional model describing the mass transport in an isothermal horizontal drum partially filled with silica beads and sugar cane bagasse (SCB), with air flowing in parallel to the bed ...

The use and the improvement of classical mathematical models for heat transfer in particulate systems can facilitate the industrial large-scale application of rotating drums as bioreactors for solid-state cultivation (SSC). ...

One-phase model have been reported to describing the simultaneous heat and mass transfer in a horizontal drum partially filled by sugarcane bagasse with attention to the loss of water promoted by the increase of temperature. ...

The fluidized-bed granulator (FDG) involves the use of a fluidized bed in a drum granulator, which is a horizontal cylinder fitted with internal flights. Despite its demonstrated success on an industrial scale, there are ...

We report experimental results on the motion and levitation of a freely to-move heavy cylinder, of constant diameter and varying mass, inside a water-filled drum rotating around its horizontal axis. The resulting flow ...

Esta tese apresenta um estudo sobre modelagem a uma fase de leitos estáticos em tambores horizontais construídos para cultivo sólido. Para tanto, balanços de massa foram propostos para leitos isotérmicos sem reação, seguidos ...

This work presents a study about heat transfer in spheres glass bed put in horizontal drum partially filled, built to solid state fermentation, using modeling and simulation tools. Two situations were analyzed: aeration ...
