Modern Drying Technology: Energy Savings, Volume 4

Description

This multivolume work covers drying, a key industrial processes  that accounts for about 10-percent of total energy consumption in industry. It guides engineers towards achieving energy savings through such approaches as improved apparatus design, optimization, and heat recovery. In so doing, it points the way to success for both researchers and practitioners in mastering this multiphase and multiscale process.Content: Chapter 1 Fundamentals of Energy Analysis of Dryers (pages 1–45): Ir.
