Drying of oil palm frond particles in a fluidized bed dryer with inert medium

Drying characteristic of oil palm frond fibres was investigated in a fluidized bed dryer with the presence of inert particles. Sand was used as inert material. Effects of air temperature (60, 70 and 80ºC), air velocity (0.79 and 0.85 m/s) and mass ratio of fibres to sand (1:0, 1:1 and 1:2)...
