Synopsis

Practical guide to drying, filtration, and heat transfer in sanitary engineering.

This book offers applied theory and design guidance for drying, heat transfer, and bed filtration in water treatment and waste processing. It combines equations, experimental results, and engineering fixes that practitioners can use in the field.

Drying and heat transfer

• Understand constant- and falling-rate drying, equilibrium moisture, and how material properties affect drying time.
• Learn how to estimate drying time under different conditions and how air flow and heat transfer impact the process.
• See how to design or evaluate drying systems and interpret heat transfer coefficients in practical terms.

Filtration and bed operations

• Explore gravity-type rapid sand filters, underdrains, backwashing, and wash-water arrangements.
• Learn about filter performance, head loss, and how bed structure affects particulate removal.
• Get design guidance for filter beds, flow rates, and backwash procedures in water treatment.

Direct contact and equipment behavior

• Discover how direct rotary dryers are analyzed for preliminary design and how temperature-length curves describe operating zones.
• Review methods for estimating heat transfer in practical equipment and how to apply those ideas to real processes.

Ideal for readers of engineering texts used in water treatment, wastewater management, and industrial drying operations.
