The data on the dryer’s optimal technological operating modes are obtained. PAN samples are studied; the regularity of the porous structure change in the granule depending on the dryer’s hydrodynamic and thermodynamic conditions is established. Experimental data obtained during the research will be used to create a methodology for the engineering calculation of gravitational shelf dryers. Moreover, the data on the optimal operating conditions of the drying machines at the final drying stage will be used to improve the technology to form porous granules from agricultural ammonium nitrate.}, type={Article}, title={Technology for porous ammonium nitrate production: modeling of drying machines’ operating modes}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/119853/PDF-MASTER/24_01978_Bpast.No.69(4)_27.08.21_druk_A.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpasts.2021.137585}, keywords={porous ammonium nitrate drying machine, operating modes, software}, }
