CRC Press - Heat and Mass Transfer in Drying of Porous Media

Heat and Mass Transfer in Drying of Porous Media provides a deep look into the phenomena and mechanisms of drying porous materials. As part of the Advances in Drying Science and Technology series, this text covers essential topics from pore-scale to macro-scale models. It explores diverse drying technologies and examines the specific drying dynamics found in fibrous porous material, colloidal porous media, and size-distributed particle systems. This reference serves as a practical guide for mathematical modeling and design. It also offers methods for the optimization of drying processes in porous materials. Whether you are a student, a researcher, or an engineer working in food processing or drying technology, this book provides the technical information needed to understand and improve complex drying systems.
