TL;DR: In this paper, the mixing process of slender particles in a rotary dryer fitted with lifters was simulated in three dimensions and it was found that the mixing characteristics of the slender particles and spherical particles all followed a constant rate until a completely mixed state was encountered.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic processes of flexible filamentous particles in the transverse section of a flighted rotary dryer were simulated in two dimensions, and the simulation results indicated that the chain model could show a variety of realistic features of particles including particle flexibility, irregular equilibrium particle shapes, mechanical contact between particles and multi-particle entanglement.

TL;DR: In this paper, three-dimensional simulations have been carried out to examine the gas-particle flow behavior of tobacco material in a fluidized bed dryer, and the simulation results indicate that tobacco particles usually concentrate in the nearwall region, and there exists a maximum particle concentration in the feed pipe.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on flexible filamentous particles in rotary dryers and chose tobacco particles as experimental material to investigate the bulk moment of particle and particle space time.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new formula for correction of the mean residence time (MRT) is proposed, which includes the correlation among the MRT and the slope, number of flights and moisture content of particle.
