Most of the CFD simulations of spray dryers reported in the literature utilizes a fixed air inlet temperature numerical framework. In this paper, a numerical framework was introduced to model spray drying as an outlet air temperature controlled process. A P-controller numerical framework was introduced which allows the inlet temperature to be automatically adjusted based on the required outlet temperature set point. This numerical framework was evaluated with a simulation of a two-stage pilot scale spray drying system at the Davis Dairy Plant (South Dakota State University) which is used for commercial contract spray drying operation.
