has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "
Drying
in the Process Industry" to their offering.
A comprehensive approach to selecting and understanding drying equipment
for chemical and mechanical engineers
A detailed reference of interest for engineers and energy specialists
working in the process industry field,
Drying
in the Process Industry investigates the current state of the art of
today's industrial drying practices, examines the factors influencing
drying's high costs in both equipment and energy consumption, and
summarizes key elements for keeping drying operations under budget and
performing at peak capacity safely while respecting the environment.
Extensive coverage of dryer basics as well as essential procedures
concerning the selection of industrial dryerssuch as how to gather
results of relevant laboratory measurements, carry out small-scale
tests, and correctly size equipmenthelp to inform readers on criteria
for generating scalable specifications that greatly assist buying
decisions.
Drying
in the Process Industry:
- Takes a practical approach to drying equipment, from an author with four decades in the industry
- Describes a diverse array of drying equipment (convective, like flash, spray, fluid-bed, and rotary; contact, like paddle and steam; radiation) from an engineer's perspective
- Provides quick and ready access to drying technologies with references to more detailed literature
- Treats drying in the context of the entire production process
True of all process facilities where drying plays an important role, such as those in the chemical, pharmaceutical, plastics, and food industries, the purchase of improper industrial drying equipment can significantly affect a manufacturer's economic bottom line. With the guidance offered in this book, engineers will be able to confidently choose industrial drying equipment that increases profits, runs efficiently, and optimally suits their needs. Key Topics Covered:
1 Introduction
