Simulation of the drying process in a top spraying fluidized bed is conducted.A wetting coefficient describing the wetted part of the particle surface is introduced.Using experimental data and the data regression method,the modified function of the wetting coefficient is calculated.And this function is introduced to the mathematical model,which describes the heat and mass transfer process in a liquid sprayed gas fluidized bed.Through modeling,the gas humidity and temperature profiles as well as the particle temperature profile can be obtained.Compared with the experimental results,the wetting coefficient and the mathematical model are verified.
In this article VLE data for a ternary system (propylene-methanol-water) under 30～60 C,0. 3～0. 9 MPa with a mass ratio of methanol to water of 9:1, 8: 2, 7: 3 were determined with a static equilibrium still, and were correlated by using Peng-Robinson model. The average relative error ofpropylene concentration in liquid phase is 1. 46 %. The results indicate that the models are very suitablefor the ternary system and the data are reliable.
