Abstract

In this study, air pressures distribution around the rotating drum was measured using minute differential pressure meters that are composed of semiconductor pressure sensor and extended flexible probes. Computational simulation of the pressure and vortex inside and outside of the rotating drum was evaluated also, taking into account the effects of inner head mounting bases, holes and head mounting windows.
