The book covers pore- and macro-scale models for heat and mass transfer in drying of porous media. It includes technologies such as air impingement, pulsed vacuum, microwave, radio-frequency, and infrared drying. It discusses drying dynamics of fibrous porous material, colloidal porous media, and size-distributed particle systems.
Heat and Mass Transfer in Drying of Porous Media offers a comprehensive review of heat and mass transfer phenomena and mechanisms in drying of porous materials. It covers pore-scale and macro-scale models, includes various drying technologies, and discusses the drying dynamics of fibrous porous material, colloidal porous media and size-distributed particle system.
Providing guidelines for mathematical modeling and design as well as optimization of drying of porous material, this reference offers useful information for researchers and students as well as engineers in drying technology, food processes, applied energy, mechanical, and chemical engineering.
