초록

텀블형 드럼 건조기의 적외선 건조 과정동안의 온도 및 수분량의 변화를 예측할 수 있는 2 차원 수학적 모델을 개발하였다. 본 모델에서는 건조대상 물질의 액체 수분의 이동과 건조공기의 유동 및 열전달을 고려하였다. 유체의 유동과 열전달 현상, 그리고 복사열전달은 유한체적법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 텀블 건조기의 2 차원 모델을 모사하기 위한 지배방정식을 소개한 후 적외선 히터, 히터의 온도, 그리고 가열 패턴에 따른 수치해석을 수행하였고, 적외선 히터를 도입함으로써 건조시간을 감소시킬 수 있음을 제시하였다.

A two-dimensional mathematical model was developed to predict the temperature and moisture-content profiles of a tumble dryer during infrared drying. The model is based on the movements of liquid water and moisture in the object and on the fluid and heat transfer in the drying air. The model was solved by the finite volume analysis for the fluid, temperature, and radiation intensity fields. After deriving the governing equations and developing the two-dimensional tumble dryer models, numerical investigations were carried out to examine the effects of various parameters such as the heater temperature and the heating patterns on the drying mechanism of the tumble dryer. All the results show that the drying time can be reduced by using the IR heater.
