The chemical engineering unit operation of drying, however, concerns itself “nly with the removal of a liquid by vaporization from a eolid~ liquid mixture in which the solid forms the continuous phase. This latter definition, of course, eliminates dehumielfication, the dehydration of liquids, evaporation, aietilliticn, filtration, crystallization, centrifuging, and other more or less remotely related fields which might fall unler the more general d finition of drying. (b) Tyres of Eryers Even when drying is considered in the more restricted sense, it covers a wide variety of different types of equip- ment. The type which is best suited to a particular ap- plication degenis noon the che acteristics of he solid- liquii system to be driel, and upon the require29nts of the separation with regard to profiuct quality and economy. Qne way of classifying dryers might be according to whether the material being dried has a definite form, such as sheet, thread, block, etc., or whether it in a *9 ree flowing bulk material such as powier, crystals, flakes, or grains. Another classification is based on the way in which vaporization is prolucefl. The so-caller direct iryers employ a stream of air or gas, perhaps heated in an external apparatus, to supply the heat and act as a carrier for the vapor. The so-called indirect dryers use no air or gas, but supply the heat through heat transfer surface built into the apparatus. There are also dryers which are a combination of direct and indirect action. tome examples of oirect dryers are the tray and compart- ment dryers, the Spray dryer, the th“ough cir ulotion dryer and the tunnel dryer. Sons examples of indirect dryers are the rotary shelf dryer, the screw conveyor dryer, the aéitated pan dryer, the vscuue rotary dryer, the indirect rotary dryer, sni the drum dryer. (0) Scope of this investigation This investigation concerns itself with the indirect type of dryer when applies to free-flowing materials. More particularly it relates to dryers of this tyye in which the solid-liquid mixture is moved across the tested surface mechanically. Dryers which fall it this category incluce the rotary shelf cfiyer, the jacketed sores con- veyor, the agitateu tan cryer, the vacuum rotary dryer, and yerhsps the indirect rotary uryer. (d) rue notary shelf dryer The rotary shelf dryer consists of circular steel plates fitted in a horizontal position inside a vortic.l cylindrical shell. A rotatin5 contrul‘shsft turns urns which carry diagonal plows. Material Eel continuously to the center of the top plate is moves outward Dy tne plows to successive concentric circles of material until it drops through a slot onto the plate below. Here the plows are oriented so as to move the material toward a slot in the center of the plate. Usually about ten plates are used. Vapors from the drying action move toward a vapor pipe at the top while the dry solid comes out the bottom. Each plate is constructed with interior channels with steam between for heating. Dryers of this type have been known for some time but have not been promoted commercially. The name rotary shelf dryer is the name given to them by Riegel. Thorpe calls them rotating rabble dryers. A great deal of interest has been shown recently in the use of this type of dryer for desolventizing soybean or cottonseed flakes after solvent extraction. Economies over the use of Jacketed screw conveyors have been claimed although data on either of these types of dryers are badly lacking. The investigation made here is particularly applicable to this type of dryer the apparatus being constructed so as to 06 as similar as possible to this type. (e) The Jacketed Screw Conveyor This type of dryer consists of a circular Jacketed conveyor in which material is heated and dried as it is conveyed. The conveying of the material is accomplished by a revolving screw inside the conveyor and frequently this screw is also heated. The heating medium degends upon the temperature sensitivity of the material being dried and may be hot water, steam, or a high-ten erature heat transfer med um such as Dowtherm. Since this dryer produces evaporation by moving a eclii across a heatea surface coefficients should be of the same order of negnitud as for the rotary shelf dryer aha should be similarly affected by variables of velocity, bed derth, anfi temperature difference. Eecause the jacketed screw conveyor dryer isrmuhatuaof multiple units it is perhaps not so well adapted to large installations as is the rotary shelf dryer. (f) The Agitated Ian Dryer This type of dryer usually consists of a shallow circular pan jacketei on the bottom and partway up the sides for steam or other heating mediums. A central vert'cal shaft supports an agitator to stir the material in he pan and bring fresh material in contac with the hot surface. The agitator can he designed to scrape the inside surface or set to a very close clearance. In many respects this dryer is similar to a rotary shelf dryer but is Operated batchwise instead of contin- uously. Similar coefficients would be exgected on these two dryers as long as the same type of material is used in both cases. However the agitated pan dryer has been use: largely for the combined evaporation and drying of slurries. (S) The Vacuum Rotary Tryer This type of dryer consists of a stationary cylind- rical shell mounted horizontally in which a set of agitator blades mounted on a revolvin3 central shaft stir and a3itate the material being cried. Heat is furnishei by circulatin; a suitable heating medium through a jacket around the shell. The dryer is chn 391 throuih a manhole at the too of tre shell and discharged through one or more manholes at th.. bottom of the dryer. The tumbling action in this type of dryer slould help to re1ove any suyerheat from the heated solid. Heat transfer is ob+ ained hoiever by moving the 30111 across the heated surface as in the previous type. Like the agitatel pan dryer it is designed_for batch Operation. Like the Jacketes screw conveyor full use of the heat transfer surface at the top of he cylinder is not ob- taint-3 . (h) The Indirect Rotary Dryer Indirect rotary iryers consist of a rotating cylinder inclined to the horizontil With material fei to one enfl an; removed from the coyosite end. Dryinr however is see omg-lishsd entirely iniirectly with heat bein3 conaucted to the material through the metal shell or to see. Wet feed 1ay enter the dryer through a screw conveyor or gravity chute. It passes through the dryer by virtue of the letters 31338 anl'rotation. The product aischarges from the dryer hrOU311 periw1rsral ogiehin as in tie shell. This erer Segonds upon gravity for agitation of the of the solid. There is no positive means for forcing the solid to move across the surface. When caking occurs there is very little, if any of this type of action. The investigation made here is therefore of little interest in connection with this dryer. (1) The Drum Dryer This type of dryer consists of a revolving heated metal drum. Drying is accomplished by applying a liquid material, solution, slurry, or paste to the drum. The drum conducts heat to the wet film to evaporate the water during a partial revolution of the drum. The dry material is scraped from the drum by a stationary knife. The scraping action in this type of dryer is for removing the solid only. The solid and the surface move together and there is no motion of one relative to the other. It is therefore not related to the work or this thesis. ' (1) Advantages of Dryers Based on Moving Solids Across a Heated Surface Dryers in which solids are moved across a heated sur- face may advantageously be used for one or more of the following reasons. (1) Like other indirect dryers all the heat goes into the product or vapor. No heat is required for raising the temperature of a carrier gas. (2) Since no air is used organic solvents or solids are not likely to produce eXplosions. (3) The gentle agitation is not likely to produce the large quantities of dust often formed in direct dryers. (A) The equipment is conveniently raie vapor tight allonir; operat101 under pressure or vacuum or recovery of‘the vapors. (S) If vapors are to be recovered t are is no diluting air or gas stream. (6) Continuous as well as baton .quipneht is con- vi ntly constructed. (7) West transfer coefficients may be quite good in comparison with some other types of dryers. It was a purpose of this investigation to determine if this is the (h) frevious work A survey of the literature for the past 15 years was made by searching Chemical Abstracts. to applicable work was fo'nd under the subjects drying apparatus, oriers, rotary shelf driers, shelf driers, and indirect driers. The Ghemical Engineers handbook gives data on vacuum rotary dryers, jacketed screw conveyors, indirect rotary dryers, and agitated pan dryers. The only data that was applicable to this investigation was that on the agitated pan dryer. coefficients from 5 to 75 3.t.u./hr. sq. ft. °r. were quoted for those dryers but no mention was made of the material dried, depth of bed or how the coefficients varied with the different variables.

In View of the use of this type of equipment in tho pest and in vies: of the current interest it would seer.3 that this is not the case. The work of this thesis is sirected toward esteroining in a quantitative way what sort of coefficients are obtain- his. mhe system of sand and water was on sen for the crying material. This was decided u on because of its convenience for run ard of the fewer uncontroll ei variab1.s presented by this mixture. The san&-water mixture probably gives the highest coefficients attainable with this apparatus with lower ace efficients be in n; obtained with materials that adsorb water or solvents. APTARATUS The initial problem of this investigation was to design a piece of equipment that would assimilate as near as pos- sible conditions in an industrial_rotary shelf dryer. It was also paramount that this apparatus maintain constant speeds of rotation under varying loads and that it be sturdy and rugged enough to be available for further study. The problem of obtaining a constant temperature plate was solved when the Lukens Steel Company of Coatesville, Pa. donated a Lukenweld Steam Tlaten to Michigan State College. The plate was forty inches square and one and three-quar- ters inches thick (Fig. 1). Because of its construction and operation this type of plate is well suited for the purpose of this investigation. The platen maintains a very uniform heat distribution and is able to withstand high steam pressures. From this point a drawing of the equipment was made (Fig. 2). The motor, speed reducer. 2-1 gear reducer, regulator valve and steam trap were equipment of the Chem- ical Engineering department at Michigan State. Using pul- leys from motor to speed reducer it was seen that the ro- tational velocities commonly used industrially could be obtained. The 2-1 gear reducer required a l l/h" vertical shaft so the platen was sent to a local tool and die shop and a hole was bored in the center of the plate 1 5/8“ diameter. This hole was then hushed with a 1/8" thick steel bushing 10 H "‘| . . a . In .7 IL. _ llll’U‘Is '1’. I U Ill." cv'oll ‘,!&n 05‘ ‘n 4 . ‘ ,.

The main shaft driven by the 2—1 gear reducer extended up through the platen and had 1/16" clearance. The shaft was key driven by the large horizontal gear and a blind flange 6" in diameter and 3/4" thick was welded to the top end of the shaft to be attached by bolts to the plow arms. The plow arms were constructed of 8“-ll.5§/ft. channel iron. Two arms each 35 1/2" long were cut and connected at right angles to each other with their flat faces to- gather. These arms were held together by 3/4“ bolts that extended through both plow arms and the blind flange on the top of the main shaft. The eight plows were constructed of 8"-ll.5§/Tt. channel iron with one flange removed. The plows were con- nected to the plow arms with 3/6" bolts. The four plows that were attached to the bottom channel iron plow arm were milled .220" shorter than the other four plows to give all the plows the same clearance with the plate. Four supports riding on 0.1. casters were constructed for the ends of the plow arms to reduce the thrust on the main shaft to a minimum. These supports were constructed from 8"-ll.5#/ft. channel iron and 3 x 3 x 1/4“ angle iron. The bolt holes connecting the channel and angle iron were slotted to allow the clearance of the plows from the plate to be varied. The c. I. casters were 2" diameter wheels with a 7/8" face. The speed reducer and the 2-1 gear reducer shafts were connected by a flexible coupling and the motor and speed reducer were belt driven by cone pulleys of 2,3 and 4 inch diameters. When the drive unit was assembled it was moved under the plate and shimmed so that the main shaft was perfectly vertical and did not bear in the plate. A flat piece of insulation l/2“ thick was then placed on the bottom side of the plate to prevent the drive unit from becoming excessively heated. The next step was to build two retaining walls to prevent the mixture from moving outside the drying bed. This was done by soldering two circular sheets of 18 gauge sheet metal to the plate. The inside well Just cleared the leading edge of the innermost plows and was approx- imately five inches high and 8 l/e” in diameter. This wall also prevented any sand from getting in the hole through which the main shaft turned. The outer circular wall Just cleared the leading edge of the outermost plows and was approximately five inches high and 30 1/2" in diameter. - The final step was that of piping the steam in and out of the platen. One-half inch steel pipe was used. In the original construction all plow angles were 45°. when a trial run was made it was seen that the outermost plows were not shearing the material and moving it inward. Instead these plows were Just pushing the mixture in front 14 of them. It was obvious that these plows turning on the larger radius were offering too much face to the oncoming material. The angles were adjusted slightly and it was found that when the plows were on 52° angles that they exhibited a good plowing action. They also covered the same bed area and over lapped each other slightly. The final plow angles used were 45° for the inside plows with 1/2” overlap and 52° for the outside plows with a very slight overlap. The sand used for this investigation was the white Ottawa sand from Ottawa. Illinois. This sand is of a fairly fine grain size as can be seen from the included sieve analysis. The sieve analysis was included to give an idea of the size of the drying material and as was mentioned before this substance probably gives the highest coefficients obtainable with this apparatus. ease 30.3 35 zoned; fleece ”Eases?

This was done some time before the run started to assure the plate of being at a uniform tem- perature. During the time that the plate was heating up steam was bled through the cock at top of steam trap to remove the air from the system. The low pressure runs were made when the gauge regis- tered on the first mark. The gauge had been previously tested on a dead weight tester in the pressure range from five to twenty pounds per square inch gauge. When the runs were completed the gauge was tested at the very low pressures by calibrating using a column of water. It was found that the first mark on the gauge corresponded to a pressure of 1.63 pounds per square inch gauge and this is the reason for the odd steam pressure for the low pressure run. During all of the runs the barometer read approximately 7#0 mm of Hg and this small correction was applied to the absolute pressures and boiling points. The sand and water mixture was made up by weight and thoroughly mixed to assure a uniform composition of the material to be dried. The final mixture was then weighed as a check on the preceding weights and the temperature of the mixture then taken. This was done by immersing a ther- mometer into the mixture. The motor was started and the apparatus checked to make sure that the dryer was in Operating order. The time *1 was then noted and the sand and water mixture was dumped on the plate to commence the run. Sampling was done at five minute intervals 1 ten sec- onds. The sampling was done by means of a rectangular scOOp approximately two inches deep by two inches wide by nine inches long. This was used to obtain a representative sample of the mixture across the drying bed. The samples were taken Just after the mixture had been moved toward the center of the bed by the outermost plows and were taken parallel to the plow arms across the width of the bed. The sample was then thorouahly mixed in the scoop and a repre- sentative sample was taken from the scoop by selecting por- tions from one end to the other with a spatula. These por- tions were immediately placed in a dry weighed weiahing bottle, covered and weighed on the analytical balance. The remainder of the sample in the scoop being returned to the drying bed. After being weighed the uncovered weighing bottles were placed in an electrically heated oven at 130°C. for at least eight hours. The preceding sampling procedure was continued at five minute intervals until the material appeared practically dry and then the time intervals were lengthened to ten minutes until the material appeared as dry as it was peso sible to obtain with the drying apparatus. This was easily noted after some experience by observing the final moisture content of some of the previous runs. In runs 19 and 21 20 ten minute intervals were used during the complete run due to the longer drying times expected. When all the sampling had been completed and the samples dried in the oven for at least eight hours they were removed and placed in a dessicator. After cooling they were weighed and the per-cent moisture was then calculated. The weighing bottles were then cleaned and the material removed from the plate and another run was started exactly as in the preceding manner using different variables of rotation. bed depth or steam pressure. In plotting the drying curves the initial moisture con- tent was calculated from the amount of water added to the original mixture. The sand that was used had been removed from the drying bed for a short time and was almost per- fectly bone dry. This method of calculating the moisture_ content of the original charge was used because the larger weights reduced errors and also because it was difficult to obtain a representative sample of the original mixture. The difficulty encountered was when the original mix was placed in the pail prior to placing on the drying bed the more moist material was toward the bottom of the pail. After the material had been placed on the bed the material was thoroughly mixed and the sand-water mixture was con- sistent. In all but the first few runs at 15 psig steam pressure and 3/4" bed depth the initial moisture contents are the same. («IT 4 I.‘ . fir ‘v .t'A -.

Note: All runs with the exception of No. 20 have a plow clearance with the plate of 1/16" 53 0133233103 The drying curves are all consistent in so far as the slower agitation runs requirei the longer drying times. In some cases, for example in Fig. 7, it is seen that the instantaneous drying rates of the slower agitation runs are larger than those of the increased agitation runs during the initial time intervals. This is noted where the slopes of the curves are steeper and cross under the curves for the faster agitated runs. This is the case in Fig. 7 where the curve at .75 r.p.m. shows a faster drying rate during the first 10 or 12 minutes of the run than the other runs at increased agitations. The reasons for this lie in the initial temperature differences of the mixtures and also by the fact that the worst source of inconsistencies probably exists during the initial stages of the runs when the charge is being heated up. It may seem rather inconsistent that the overall coefficients obtainei decrease with an increasing temp- erature difference as shown in Fig. 13 e 14. It is believed that this can be eXplained by the fact that in run no. 21- Fis. 11, in which no agitation was used, it was noted that the material on the tsp and bottom of the bed was dry while the material in the center was still moist. Eventually all the material became dry but the material on the top and bottom of the bed were dry some tine before the material in the middle. The material next to the plate would be exyected to become dry first since it was in contact with 59 the hot surface. The material on top becoming dry sooner than the material under it leads to the conclusion that air currents were assisting the drying process. If this was the case, the aptaratus was not entirely an indirect dryer. This phenomenon was suspected before run he. 21 and that is the reason for run no. 19-Fig. 9. In this run a cardboard box was placed over the drying apparatus and it was seen that the drying time was increased as coma pared to the same run with no cover in Fig. 8. while this method of covering the dryer was not air tight it served the purpose of protecting some of the surface from stray air currents. This ran showed a somewhat lower coefficient that the similar run no. 17 indicating that air currents over the bed were helping to dry the mixture. From the above observation it is seen that if steam at atmospheric pressure were used giving a zero temperature difference there would be some drying by the air currents and the overall coefficients would be infinite. Since the temperature difference in the runs using the low steam pressure were small (50F.) this is believed to be the reason for the extremely high coefficients obtained for these runs. Of course the runs at the higher steam pres- sures were all assisted by the air currents so the coef- ficients obtained here will be higher than those in a sealed rotary shelf dryer that is the common installation industrially. I The curves in Fig. 12 show an increase of overall 60 coefficients with increased rate of agitation and this is as wouli be exyecteo.

When the initial wet mixture was placefl on the drying J bed not all of the neat trans1el area was utili moi during the initial sta3os of the run. since the sand was moist it tended to a33lonzer.ate tO‘Vsner ansi wi.th a plow clearance of o;-11y 1/13" the trailin3 space behind the glows was bars of material.

This was the cise {Hitil the material became drier ani tended to be sore 3m nular and free flowin3 anl then there was a constant shallow layer under the plows and also a sli: ht anount of material fell behind the plows. This is not the case in the industrial installation where the material moves in one direction across the plate but in this case, due to the linitei equi3)sent, the mixture was raked back and forth. In accounting for the slightly increasei coefficients with greater bed depth it seems possible that this unused area was different for the two bed depths. It seems that with the 3r% ater bed degth that there would be more of a tendency for the wet material to fall behind the plows and utilise some of the space left bare by the plows. Theoretically one would eXgGCt the same coefficients for all bei 1e pths. In run no. el-Fig. 11 in which no a3itstion was used 61 a longer drying time was required than in the similar runs using agitation. he the drying time is increased the drying rate falls off. This is because the insulating layer of dry sand is becoming thicker as the material is drying. When this layer of dry sand becomes thicker it offers more resistance to the passage of heat and thereby reduces the heat transferred to the moist material above the dry sand layer. During the agitated runs this extreme decrease in drying rate was not present. Also during the run with no agitation it was noted when the run was completed that a thin black scale had formed on the drying bed. The run was only conducted for one hour and the scale was probably not too serious although continued Operation would build up the scale and reduce the heat transfer and thereby the capacity. The absence of the scale is another distinct advantage of using agitation while drying. The curves of Fig. 15 show the expected increase of heat transferred per unit area with an increase in tem- perature difference. In run no. 20-Fig. 10 in which the plow clearance was increased to 3/8“ a higher heat transfer coefficient was obtained. In this run all the heat transfer area was utilized during the run and this probably accounts for the higher coefficients. Since only one run was made at this increased plow clearance as a matter of curiosity no valid conclusions can be drawn due to the limited investigation. As was mentioned before the outermost plow angle was 62 adjusted to 52° to obtain a suitable plowing action from hese plows. The temperature difference used throughout in the calculations was the difference between the temperature of which water vnyor was formed at the existing atmospheric E'T‘OSSUI'B o The bed area used in the calculations was the entire area included between the two circular retaining walls. 63 GORGLUSIGNS 1. Heat transfer coefficients were obtained for the drying of wet sand by plowing it across a heated surface. For a variety or coniitions these coefficients ranged upward from 49 Btu's/hr. transferred per square foot of heated surface ger degree Fahrenheit temperature difference between the surface and the boiling point of be water. 2. It may be necessary to lower the above figure somewhat when a correction is made for drying caused by stray air currents. . The rate of plowing was varied from 6 times per \N minute at any given point to 24 times per minute, the coefficients being consistently greater at the higher rates. 4. Bed c pths of 3/4“ and 1 1/4" were used, greater coefficien s being noted at the greater depths. (:0 O 5. Temperature differences ranging from J F. to 38 F. were used. ruck higher coefficients were noted at the lower differences. This may be due in pert to the effect of air currents. 6. Que run in which the glow clearance was increased from 1/15“ to 3/8" showed an increase rather than a decrease in coefficient. 7.. For the same plowing action, the angle between the plow edge and it’s path must be less for plows raking toward thr center of the plate th.n for those raking toward the periphery.
