Dryer simulation

wet cake -> dry solid + vapor

Governing equations

The exact equations the solver works for a dryer — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.

$E$

evaporation rate [mol/s] — the water you actually drive off

$L_{in}$

liquid entering with the solids [mol/s]

$S$

dry-solids flow [mol/s]

$m_{out}$

target residual moisture fraction of the product

$Q$

duty [W]

$h_v, h_l$

vapour and liquid molar enthalpies [J/mol] — their difference is the latent heat you must supply

Parameters

outlet_moisture [0..1 target, default 0.01]; optional temperature [K, default 373.15], moisture_component [default 'water']
