CFD-DEM Evaluation of Particle Circulation and High-Percentile Contact Loading in a Draft-Tube Fluidized-Bed Seed Coater for Chinese Cabbage Seeds
Stable circulation and limited mechanical loading are key requirements in the fluidized-bed coating of small vegetable seeds. For Chinese cabbage seeds, their small mass, irregular geometry, and mechanical sensitivity make it difficult to evaluate operating conditions using only global indicators, such as mean particle...
