摘要
Multiphase transport model to simulate drying of honeycomb ceramic substrates in a conventional (hot air) drier is developed. Heat and moisture transport in the honeycomb walls as well as channels is modeled. The model predictions are validated against experiments done for drying of cylinder-shaped substrates by comparing histories and axial profiles of moisture loss and point temperature histories at various locations. Drying experiments are performed at two different values of air temperature, 103 degrees C and 137 degrees C, at a relative humidity value of 5%. Sensitivity analysis reveals that the drying process is controlled by heat and water vapor transport. External heat transfer is the dominant resistance mechanism for energy transport, whereas internal convection and binary diffusion dominate the resistance to vapor transport.
