A comprehensive approach to selecting and understanding drying equipment for chemical and mechanical engineers A detailed reference of interest for engineers and energy specialists working in the process industry field, Drying in the Process Industry investigates the current state of the art of today's industrial drying practices, examines the factors influencing drying's high costs in both equipment and energy consumption, and summarizes key elements for keeping drying operations under budget and performing at peak capacity safely while respecting the environment. Extensive coverage of dryer basics as well as essential procedures concerning the selection of industrial dryers—such as how t...
Excerpt from Drying Machinery and Practice: A Handbook on the Theory and Practice of Drying and Desiccating, With Classified Description of Installations Machinery, and Apparatus; Including Also a Glossary of Technical Terms and Bibliography This handbook is intended to give an insight into the art of Drying, and descriptions of typical designs of the machines and apparatus used in Drying and Desiccating. In order to do so the general principles which govern the various methods of removing moisture (water) from all kinds of materials have been briefly stated, followed by a summary of the several methods employed, together with the tables of calculations necessary in deciding the requisite c...
Originally published in 1913, this pioneering work on drying technology remains an essential reference for engineers and scientists working in the field of materials processing. Authors Arthur Columbine Wright and Eugen Hausbrand provide detailed explanations of the principles and practices of air and steam drying, along with practical formulae and tables that can be used to design and optimize drying systems. With clear illustrations and extensive case studies, this book is an essential tool for anyone working with industrial drying technology. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work is...
This book provides a comprehensive overview of essential topics related to conventional and advanced drying and energy technologies, especially motivated by increased industry and academic interest. The main topics discussed are: theory and applications of drying, emerging topics in drying technology, innovations and trends in drying, thermo-hydro-chemical-mechanical behaviors of porous materials in drying, and drying equipment and energy. Since the topics covered are inter-and multi-disciplinary, the book offers an excellent source of information for engineers, energy specialists, scientists, researchers, graduate students, and leaders of industrial companies. This book is divided into several chapters focusing on the engineering, science and technology applied in essential industrial processes used for raw materials and products.
Drying processes are among the most energy-consuming operations in industry. Flame spray drying (FSD) is a novel approach to reduce the energy supply needed for the spray drying process. Flame Spray Drying: Equipment, Mechanism, and Perspectives describes FSD technology and current developments in flame techniques and evaluates potential industrial implementation. Details advantages of FSD in terms of energy consumption and reduced drying time Promotes applications of biofuels for the drying process Analyzes the FSD method from CFD modelling to product quality Evaluates potential safety and product degradation risks Provides examples of potential applications of the FSD technique in drying of different materials This book describes an important new technique that is useful to chemical and process engineering researchers, professionals, and students working with drying technologies.
Considering drying as a method for accomplishing a liquid/solid separation by other than mechanical means, and noting that it is an energy-intensive procedure requiring expensive equipment, suggests to process development, process, and plant engineers what criteria to use in choosing the appropriate
