主 题:Sweet sorghum particles Radial mixing Discrete element method Rotary drum bioreactor Parameter determination
摘 要:The mixing of raw materials in a rotary drum bioreactor is important for advanced solid-state fermentation ***,the shape,size,and other properties of pulverized sweet sorghum stalk particles are more complicated than those of the spherical *** this study,a soft rod-shaped discrete particle model was established and verified to simulate the mixing behavior of sweet sorghum stalk particles in a rotary drum *** were inspired by the particle shape and established a rod-shaped particle model by investigating the influence of the shape(length-diameter ratio)and size(diameter)on the particle packing(stack height and bed porosity).We used orthogonal simulations and extremum difference analysis to determine the main factors,optimum level,and groups of other *** on calibrated parameters,twelve sets of simulations of radial mixing in the drum were performed,and the results were compared with experiments conducted under identical operating *** average relative error between the simulation and the experiment was 10.95%,which indicates that they agreed well and that the simulation could predict the mixing process well.
