Modeling of a Rotary Drum Granulator for Control

A phenomenological model with 12 parameters for rotary drum granulation with the help of material balance equations taking into account the growth and death functions was developed. Experiments were conducted and the data were used to obtain model parameters with reference to the operating condition...

Description
Summary:A phenomenological model with 12 parameters for rotary drum granulation with the help of material balance equations taking into account the growth and death functions was developed. Experiments were conducted and the data were used to obtain model parameters with reference to the operating conditions and for validation of the model. It was concluded that the proposed model is adequate for the representation of dynamics and hence this model can be recommended for dynamic simulation leading to improved control of granulation circuits.
