Abstract
The objective of this research is to upgrade the performance of dehydrator for next generation engineering resin pellet. Perform visualization of three-phase flow part, and we went to check the status of transportation. To visualize, we have adopted the acrylic plate as the material of the duct. Subsequently, additional experiments to verify the levitation force of each high-density resin pellets, and we research on the impact of density and shape on the levitation force. From Experimental outcome that the levitation velocity of PET (of the most high-density resin pellets used in this experiment) is 10.3 [m / s] is we have confirmed. All four types of pellets used in this experiment can be transported, because slowest velocity is 12.5 [m / s] in Air current velocity out of nozzle. Finally, we were measured for each resin Water attachment rate of after passing through the dehydrator, and decided the optimum amount of water.
