Análises energética e exergética em secadores de casulos do bicho-da-seda do tipo operação contínua e fluxos cruzados.

Abstract

In this work is presented an energy and exergy analysis that permit to determine the drying process efficiency based in the 1st and 2nd Thermodynamic laws. De-tails on the energy and exergy analysis of a silkworm cocoon industrial dryer type cross-flow and continuous operation are supplied. Different definitions of efficiency based on the con-cept of energy and exergy are proposed, calculated and compared. The destruction of exergy during the drying process was calculated.
