title: Modelling and estimation of physical parameters in a sludge drying system.
abstract: In this paper is presented the study of a Sludge Drying System used to kill pathogenic organisms living in sludge. The system is modeled and the physical parameters thermal capacity, thermal resistance and thermal time constant are estimated using conventional estimation methods.
