Granulator simulation

seeds + binder -> grown granules

Governing equations

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

$d_{in}, d_{out}$

granule diameter in and out [m]

$S$

solids mass flow [kg/s]

$B$

binder mass flow [kg/s]

$e$

binder incorporation efficiency [0..1] — the cube root is volume growth expressed as diameter growth

Parameters

granulation_efficiency [0..1 binder deposited, default 0.8]; feed = solid seeds + liquid binder inlets
