By far the most commonly encountered and energy-intensive unit operation in almost all industrial sectors, industrial drying continues to attract the interest of scientists, researchers, and engineers. The Handbook of Industrial Drying, Fourth Edition not only delivers a comprehensive treatment of the current state of the art, but also serves as a consultative reference for streamlining industrial drying operations. New to the Fourth Edition: Computational fluid dynamic simulation Solar, impingement, and pulse combustion drying Drying of fruits, vegetables, sugar, biomass, and coal Physicochemical aspects of sludge drying Life-cycle assessment of drying systems Covering commonly encountered dryers as well as innovative dryers with future potential, the Handbook of Industrial Drying, Fourth Edition not only details the latest developments in the field, but also explains how improvements in dryer design and operation can increase energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Still the Most Complete, Up-To-Date, and Reliable Reference in the Field Drying is a highly energy-intensive operation and is encountered in nearly all industrial sectors. With rising energy costs and consumer demands for higher quality dried products, it is increasingly important to be aware of the latest developments in industrial drying technologies. For two decades, Mujumdar’s industry-standard Handbook of Industrial Drying has been the quintessential source of state-of-the-art information in the field, and this third edition is no exception. New in the Third Edition Covering everything from the fundamentals of drying to the latest dryer types, nearly two-thirds of this edition comprises new material at the vanguard of research and industrial practice. In addition to several rewritten and many more revised chapters, new chapters cover such topics as: Spreadsheet-aided dryer design Indirect and pneumatic drying Drying of fish and seafood, grain, herbal medicines, and tea Drying of nanosize products, enzymes, and textiles Dewatering and drying of wastewater treatment sludge Heat pump drying and industrial crystallization Solid–liquid separation for pretreatment Providing important data along with the experience, insight, and practical know-how contributed by experts from around the world, the Handbook of Industrial Drying, Third Edition remains the definitive reference to the complete spectrum of current and emerging industrial drying technologies.

First Published in 1995, this book offers a full guide into industrial drying for various materials. Carefully compiled and filled with a vast repertoire of notes, diagrams, and references this book serves as a useful reference for students of medicine and other practitioners in their respective fields.
