Summary
Written by an author with over four decades in the process industries, this book takes a practical approach for the working engineer. It assists him or her in selecting drying equipment by explaining dryer basics, criteria, selection procedure, and sizing. The coverage also describes a diverse array of drying equipment (convective, fluid-bed, direct-heat, flash, spray, batch, and steam) from an engineers perspective. It provides ready access to drying technologies with references to more detailed literature. Finally, the book treats drying as part of an integrated process in the production process.
