Abstract

In a simple manner drying means remove the excessive solvent. Generally drying is a net movement of mass travel from one location to another that means drying is a mass transfer process and they remove water or another solvent by evaporation process from three phases like solid, liquid and semi solid. Drying is may be an old technology in a process industry and in the process of cotton seeds for removing the cottonseed oil and then produce cotton seeds in powder form for other use. As per cotton seed types or quality, the cotton seeds contain 25-30% of moisture by weight and it should be dried approximately or practically 8-9% of moisture is achieve. For fulfill the above purpose, the heating type of dryer is used that is called Rotary cotton seed dryer and performance and effect of the driver is only depends on mass flow rate of oil (used as oil medium) inlet temperature, ratio of volume changes to the moisture content changes above the shrinkage limit (shrinkage ratio), specific energy consumption and fresh efficiency.
