Theoretical analysis of granules movement hydrodynamics in the vortex granulators of ammonium nitrate and carbamide production

Abstract

Mathematical calculations for determining the hydrodynamic characteristics of granules movement in the workspace of the vortex granulator, which is the main ultimate process of chemical technology and forms properties of ordinary and porous ammonium nitrate and carbamide, are presented in this paper. Components of a granule velocity and the granulator design impact on them are analytically determined. Comparison of theoretical and experimental studies is performed.
