The drying of a dispersed material in a fluidized bed has been modeled mathematically. The dependence of the bed’s mass, which ensures a prescribed final humidity, on the regime parameters of the fluidized system has been established. The superheated-steam drying of wood granules in a fluidized bed has been investigated experimentally.
