To remove the moisture content from cotton seed, different types of drying mechanisms are used. Out of them rotary cotton seed dryer is most popular and effective tool. It removes moisture content till 6-8 % which was 23-25% in initial stage. There are several farmers and industrialist which use sun drying process. But it consumes much time. Hence drying of cotton seed with the help of rotary dryer will be the effective way. The rotary cotton seed dryer is an industrial as well as agricultural used dryer employed to decrease or minimize the liquid moisture content of the cotton seeds. Drying is may be the oldest and most commonly and simply use technique in the processing of the cotton seed for removing the cotton seed oil and cotton seed milk of decent quality. In this thesis we have an abstract based on the study of rotary cotton seed dryer and improve the efficiency. Nowadays industries optimization of current process is accepted in progress manner behind industry it is found that due to optimization improve the efficiency and reduced working time and makes the system fruitful for the industry. In this study the existing rotary dryer heat transfer with the help of CFD Tool like ANSYS Fluent. For this purpose, we will consider three piping-passage rotational velocities i.e. 10, 15 and 20 rad/s. Pressure, Velocity, Turbulence and Temperature change will be recorded for each case. Recorded results will be compared with moisture extraction process time. Based on it, final conclusion will be drawn.
