SOFTWARE FOR CALCULATION OF VORTEX TYPE GRANULATION DEVICES
Abstract
The article deals with considering the features of original software for calculation of hydrodynamic conditions and kinetic characteristics of granulation process in multistage vortex devices for multi-layer granules and granules modification. In the base of software Vortex Granulator©, Classification in vortex flow© and Multistage Vortex Granulator© original mathematical model for calculating the flow rate of gas and granules classification and separation processes in vortex granulator, granules warming kinetics and removing moisture from the granules was put in. Software was designed on JavaFx platform. Vortex Granulator©, Classification in vortex flow© and Multistage Vortex Granulator© allow to conduct optimization calculation of vortex granulator according the criterion of minimum required residence time of granules in device`s workspace. The article also provides estimates of hydrodynamic characteristics of gas flow movement using software product ANSYS CFX based on author's mathematical model.
