This artical also discusses about demostration of fluidized bed dryer with principle and application and other processing. This has lead to development of thechnology, process and equipments which not only reduce time but also increasing the output. A Fluidized bed dryer significantely reduce drying time, compared with vaccum dryer or tray dryer. In the pharmacutical industry, fluidized bed dryer are typically used for pellets drying, coating and granulation. Fluidized bed drying are very well known to yield high heat and mass transfer and hence adopted to many industrial drying process particularly pharmacy product. In this paper we show construction, working of the fluidized bed dryer. It work on the drying principle. It has several advantages and disadvantages.

A mathematical model for simulation of simultaneous unsteady heat and mass transfer in fluidized-bed drying of large particles is proposed. A set of coupled non-linear partial differential equations is employed to accurately model the process without using adjustable parameters. A three phase model representing a bubble (dilute) phase, interstitial gas phase and a solid phase is used to describe the thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics of the bed. The bubble and temperature distributions inside the solid phase is applied. The flow field is divided by an orthogonal grid to a finite number of control volumes to simulate the variation of the properties for the three phases in longitudinal direction. The Crank-Nicholson implicit numerical method is applied to solve the set of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations with variable mass and thermal diffusivity for a spherical-shape particle. A pilot-scaled fluidized bed dryer was built to test the results of proposed model with those obtained by experiments using wheat particles as a bed charge. A good agreement between the numerical and experimental results is observed.

A two-dimensional mathematical model of simultaneous heat and mass transfer for porous media drying was derived based on the Whitaker’s theory in the present study. The cylindrical coordinate system, which is more practical than the spherical one, was adopted. The model was solved numerically under the circumstance of fluidized-bed drying. The control-volume method with the fully implicit scheme was applied for discretization of governing equations. Physical properties of apple were selected in the simulation. Under typical operating conditions, heat and mass transfer mechanisms were analyzed based on the profiles of temperature and saturation inside the particles. Effects of the temperature, humidity and inlet velocity of hot gas were examined under different operating conditions. Simulation results show that the drying process can be significantly affected by coupled heat and mass transfer between gas and solid phases. The drying time increases with the increase in temperature and velocity of inlet hot gas, and decreases with the increase in humidity and bed area factor.
