Features of Heat Transfer in the Granulation of Sulfur

Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

The influence of the temperature regimes of the granulation of sulfur in an aqueous medium on the qualitative characteristics of the granules obtained has been experimentally investigated. The admissible range of change in the operating parameters of an apparatus for granulation of sulfur with the use of water has been determined and a dimensionless quantity defining this range has been derived. The influence of the heat‐transfer regimes on the formation of the internal structure of sulfur granules has been numerically investigated and the reasons for the dependence of the qualitative characteristics of the granules on the temperature conditions of their production have been revealed.
