Abstract

This paper presents a design of length of industrial rotary dryer for the thermal efficiency of showering drying with a parametric sensitivity analysis, that analyze the effect of parameter currently used in industry; such as Equilibrium Moisture, Volumetric heat transfer coefficient and Heat loss coefficient, etc. The objective is to analyze the relation of selected parameters to calculate the length of industrial rotary dryer based on the parametric sensitivity analysis. In case study 1, the percentage error of rotary dryer length calculated from the proposed method is 2.17. In case study 2, the percentage error is 6.17. Results of proposed method shows that can be calculated in comparison with some example in the industrial use.
