Heat transfer rates after the acceleration region are less, rendering them ineffective heat exchangers. Since gas–solid heat transfer phenomenon is similar to heat transfer in a concurrent heat exchanger, the driving force decreases with height. To overcome this, simulation of pneumatic drying in parallel, short ducts to maintain reasonable driving force has been reported [9] and found that shorter parallel ducts can be utilized for drying of fine particles. Another method to improve heat transfer could be the distribution of required gas flow to more than one location in the duct, in order to maintain reasonably uniform driving force for heat transfer. Though there are avenues for such experimental and computational study, to the authors' knowledge, work on these lines has not been published. In the present paper, simulations have been performed with multiple gas supply, along the duct height to explore the feasibility of such a scheme of gas supply, in the perspective of higher heat recovery.
