Tsotsas E. Modern drying technology. Volume 1. Computational Tools at Different Scales

Wiley, September 2007, 359 pagesIn Volume 1, diverse model types for the drying of products and the design of drying processes (short-cut methods, homogenized, pore network, and continuous thermo-mechanical approaches) are treated, along with computational fluid dynamics, population balances, and process systems simulation tools. Emphasis is put on scale transitions.Series Preface.
