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. This latest edition:
Provides comprehensive coverage of conventional, emerging, and potential
drying technologies worldwide
Traces the latest industrial trends along with the technologies and
practices designed to follow them
Covers drying technologies from all industrial sectors as well as
safety, energy efficiency, cost, and control aspects
Includes new and extensively rewritten chapters as well as updated
material throughout the book
Compiles the work of leading international experts from 20 countries
along with references to the most current literature
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. 1312
