The invention discloses a numerical
simulation and characterization method for thermal
processing characteristics of a tobacco strip
moisture regaining process under a complex working condition, and aims to solve the problem that changes of temperature and
moisture content of tobacco strips in the
moisture regaining process are difficult to accurately characterize. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, acquiring a three-dimensional model and related size parameters of drum-type damping
machine equipment through a three-dimensional space sensing technology, carrying out
geometric modeling in combination with field measurement data, then, constructing a multi-field
coupling numerical model of flexible particles of the tobacco lamina and a flow field in a drum based on CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and DEM (
discrete element method) theories, and finally, constructing a multi-field
coupling numerical model of the flexible particles of the tobacco lamina and the flow field in the drum. Movement, temperature change and moisture content change rules of the tobacco lamina in the moisture regaining process are simulated. According to the method, through extraction of sensitive process parameters and equipment operation parameters, multi-working-condition numerical
simulation analysis is carried out, the accuracy of a numerical model is verified, and finally visual and digital representation of the
flue-cured tobacco strip hot
processing characteristics is achieved. Experimental results show that the method can accurately simulate the temperature distribution and moisture content change of the tobacco lamina in the moisture regaining process, theoretical support is provided for moisture regaining process parameter optimization, and the inherent quality stability of the tobacco lamina in the moisture regaining process is ensured.
