A computer model of a single‐pass, rotary‐drum dryer with or without a center‐fill flighting section, describes the drying behavior of wood particles within the drum. This part of a two‐part study examines retention time; the second part incorporates heat and mass transfer for the complete drying model. Simulation results with retention time data from a large‐scale rotary dryer showed a favorable comparison, with a root mean square error of 14.2%.
