In this paper, a numerical study on the shape of the dryer was performed for the purpose of reducing energy used in the actual industrial dryer. We measured temperature distributions over the nozzles in the dryer according to two cases of power consumption. The measured temperatures are used as applied boundary conditions in the numerical model. In order to investigate the shape of energy efficient model, three cases of height of the outlet of the dryer, distance between nozzles and drying material, height of the dryer, and number of heater were selected as the geometric design parameters (X₁, X₂, X₃). For the comparison of the thermal performance of each case, temperature distribution of the conveyer line passing the drying material and the inside of dryer are also analyzed by the numerical simulations. Finally, the proposed shape of dryer is expected to reduce power consumption while maintaining the thermal performance of the existing dryer.
