APPLICATION SOFTWARE PRODUCTS FOR CALCULATION TRAJECTORIES OF GRANULES MOVEMENT IN VORTEX GRANULATOR
Abstract
The article deals with the implementation of computer program for calculating the basic characteristics of granule movement in vortex granulator: speed and trajectory. For the calculation software programs Vortex Granulator© and Classification in vortex flow© were applied, as well as software package ANSYS CFX. Software allow to automatize the calculation simultaneously on multiple criteria optimization and visualization of calculation results in the form of plots or three-dimensional images. Calculation results are the base for the optimal choice of dispersant location and optimal sizes of the working chamber of the granulator.
