Abstract
The dynamic characteristics of a two stage fluidized bed dryer are studied when the drying gas flows in a crosscurrent or countercurrent arrangement. The slow dynamic modes are related to such extensive thermodynamic process variables as the total mass and energy content of both dryers. The fast dynamic modes are shown to represent steady state mass and energy balances of one of the dryers.Keywords
