Covering everything from the fundamentals of drying to the latest dryer types, nearly two-thirds of Handbook of Industrial Drying comprises new material at the vanguard of research and industrial practice.
Handbook of Industrial Drying:
- Provides comprehensive coverage of conventional, emerging, and potential drying technologies worldwide
- Traces the latest industrial trends along with the technologies and practices designed to follow them
- Covers drying technologies from all industrial sectors as well as safety, energy efficiency, cost, and control aspects
- Includes new and extensively rewritten chapters as well as updated material throughout the book
- Compiles the work of leading international experts from 20 countries along with references to the most current literature
In addition to several rewritten and many more revised chapters, new chapters cover such topics as:
- Spreadsheet-aided dryer design
- Indirect and pneumatic drying
- Drying of fish and seafood, grain, herbal medicines, and tea
- Drying of nanosize products, enzymes, and textiles
- Dewatering and drying of wastewater treatment sludge
- Heat pump drying and industrial crystallization
- Solid-liquid separation for pretreatment
Providing important data along with the experience, insight, and practical know-how contributed by experts from around the world, Handbook of Industrial Drying remains the definitive reference to the complete spectrum of current and emerging industrial drying technologies.
