Modeling and Design of a Solar Rotary Dryer Bench Test for Phosphate Sludge
As an eco‐friendlier way to manage mining waste, the use of solar energy to dry phosphate sludge in a rotary dryer is envisioned. As a first step toward this end, a design study for a bench‐scale rotary dryer for phosphate sludge is detailed, using a one‐dimensional mathematical model developed for this task. Using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES)
