A software package for computing heat and mass transfer processes in fluidized bed units

Purpose and Scope

The software package is designed to compute the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic characteristics of the granulation, drying, and cooling aggregates with a fluidized bed of dispersed particles.

Main Characteristics and Essence

The software package is developed based on original mathematical models for calculating the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic characteristics of the fluidized bed operation. The mathematical model includes the basic equations of hydrodynamics of single-phase and two-phase flows, thermodynamic equations, the equations of kinetics of heating and dehydration of granules, etc. All equations of the mathematical model are adapted for devices with active hydrodynamic modes.
