Synopsis

This book presents a thorough theoretical research of a spray drying process, performed by the author in the framework of his Ph.D. study at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, under the supervision of Prof. A. Levy and Prof. I. Borde. The topics covered are:• Mathematical and numerical modelling of single droplet drying kinetics for droplets with insoluble and dissolved solids; • Analysis of particles breakage during drying processes; • Two and three dimensional modelling of drying process in a pilot-plant spray dryer using Computational Fluid Dynamics; • Steady and unsteady-state numerical analysis of spray drying process; • Comparison between numerical simulations using different turbulence models; • Droplet-droplet interactions in spray drying model;• Novel probabilistic approach for modelling of particle-particle collisions in spray drying processes.As a comprehensive information source about modelling the spray drying processes, this text will be useful to a broad range of graduate and postgraduate engineering students, process engineers, industrial and academic researchers.
