Drying Technology & Spray Drying: Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering

This comprehensive study covers the basic principles of humidity including humidity & humidity chart, vapor-pressure curve of water, dew point and wet-bulb temperature. Mechanism of drying has been clearly discussed in details. It also covers Drying Rate Curve and Moisture Content Curve including both constant rate period and falling rate period.

Within this book you will find an extensive and in-depth discussion of Spray Drying & Drying Equipment. All Common types of dryers including Continuous Tunnel Dryer, Drum Dryer, Tray Dryer and Rotary Dryer are mentioned with detailed description.

Experimental work that included the effect of boundary layer on drying mechanisms and Mechanisms of Single Droplet Drying
are discussed in depth with enough figures, tables and equations to understand mechanism of drying .

Using Spray Drying in milk powder production, pharmaceuticals, and food Industry have been discussed in details. This book is a valuable reference for any researcher or student interested in drying technology and spray dryers.
