Fluidized Bed Dryer Modeling Project

Model Assumption:
        Modeled as single sphere in flowing fluid with no interaction
        (sticky contact) among the spheres

Fluidized Bed Dryer Project Objectives:
        The objective is to estimate and then report the values for the:

Mass Transfer Coefficient
Heat Transfer Coefficient
Minimum Fluidization Velocity

          1)  Poly-put-the-kettle-on:
               This wonder drug will make all the good looking children
                 of Lake Wobagon down right ugly.  It enters the fluidize
                 bed dryer as individual spheres saturated with Benzene.
 2)  Goop-day-jour
     The perfect pill for the perfect pill.  It enters the fluidize
              bed dryer as individual spheres saturated with Water.
 3)Blivit
    Cures nothing that ails you.  It enters the fluidize dryer
    as individual spheres saturated with Ethanol.
 4)  Mile-high
     Stops nose bleeds as it removes the nose.  It enters the
     fluidized dryer as individual spheres saturated with Hexane.
5)  PoncePill
               Makes you old before you know it  It enters the fluidize
     bed dryer as individual spheres saturated with Methanol.
 6)  Wisdumb
     The political drug of choice.  It enters the fluidize
     bed dryer as individual spheres saturated with Naphthalene.
