    The document describes the design of a rotary drier used to dry (NH4)2SO4. Key specifications and calculations are shown to determine the necessary size and dimensions of the drier. Based on heat transfer calculations and assumptions about air flow rates, the optimal diameter of the drier is determined to be 2 meters, and the optimal length is calculated to be 12 meters. The length to diameter ratio of 6 meets the recommended design criteria.

    PROCESS EQUIPMENT DESIGN

    1. ROTARY DRIER
    Feed
    (NH4)2SO4 +H20 I I Hot air

    Spent air
    Product
    Moist (NH4)2SO4

    Amount of water infeed = 212.5 kg/hr


    Dry solid infeed = 10417 kg/hr
    Water content in product = 105.25 kg/hr
    Hence water dried in drier = 107.25 kg/hr
    Inlet air temperature = 150° C
    Outlet air temperature = 85° C
    Inlet temperature of feed = 30° C
    Discharge temperature = 80° C
    Assuming wet bulb temperature of 80° C, 70% humidity of air.
    The temperature of the air leaving the drier should be selected on the basis of an economic
    balance between drier cost and fuel cost. It has been that rotary driers are most economically
    operated when the total number of transfer units (NTU) range from 1.5 to 2.0. Assuming
    NTU = 1.5.

    NTU= ln [ [tg1-tw] / [tg2- tw] ]

    1.5 = ln [{150- 80}/ { tg2 - 80}] tg2


    = 95.62 °C
    Heat balance
    Cp of (NH4)2SO4 =1.63 kJ/kg °C Cp
    of water = 4.187 kJ/kg °C

    Temperature detail
    Feed Air
    Inlet 30 °C 150 °C
    Outlet 80 °C 85 °C

    Heat required to rise the feed to 45 °C,


    10417 x 1.63 x(45-30)+ 105.25 x (45-30) = 261326.4 kJ
    Considering 55kg of water of evaporation,
    Heat required to evaporate 55 kg of water = mk
    = 55 x2400
    =132000kJ
    Heat required to super heat the product to 80°C, 10417
    x 1.63 x (80-45) + 27 x1.9 (80-45) = 596085 kJ

    total heat required to raise the product to discharge temperature,


    Qt = 261326.4+ 132000 + 596085
    = 989412 kJ
    LMTD across the dryer, Atm

    At m = [(150-30)-(85-80 )]
    Ln[( 150-30)-(85-30)]
    The minimum velocity of air is set based on the particle size. Air flow rate of 100 lb/hr
    .ft3 is sufficient for 420 microns. Hence this will be used in application. The minimum
    velocity is used since it gives the smallest possible size of drier.
    Amount of air required:
    M = (Qt/CpAt)
    = 989412/ (150- 85) =
    15221.72 kg / hr
    The maximum amount of water present in this amount water is 60% i.e.
    9133.03 kg / hr An extra amount of 10% of this quantity to account the
    heat losses.
    1.1 x 15221.72 = 16743.89 kg / hr. If
    the velocity of air is 1000lb/ hr.ft = 4880 kg / hr. m3

    Area of drier = ( 16743.89/ 4880) 3.431 m2

    Diameter of the dryer = V (3.431 x4/ JI)


    = 2.09 m.
    Diameter of dryer = 2.09 m.

    Length of transfer unit has been related to mass velocity and diameter by following relation,
    Ltu = 0.0064 xCp x (G) 0.84 x2.04
    = 7.36 m. Length of the
    drier = Ltu x NTU
    = 7.36 x 1.5
    = 11.05 m.
    Following dimensions for the drier are chosen. L
    = 12m ; D= 2m L/D = 12/2
    = 6 L/D should range in between 4 - 10. Hence the design
    is safe.
