Development of Software for Calculating of the Vortex Fluidized Bed Granulator

The article is devoted to the development of software for calculating the hydrodynamic conditions and kinetic characteristics of granulation process in vortex devices. In the basis software Vortex Granulator © and Classification in vortex flow © original mathematical model for calculating the flow rate of gas and granules classification and separation processes of granules in a vortex granulator, kinetics of granules heating and removing moisture from the granules was put. The structure of software and algorithm of their work is shown. In the article an algorithm for calculation of the granulation process in the vortex granulator using the developed software is shown. Software designed in JavaFx platform. Vortex Granulator © and Classification in vortex flow © allow to conduct an optimization calculation of vortex granulator according the criteria of minimum required residence time of granules in device workspace.
