Book Description
This book provides recent advances in research on drying of particulate and porous materials. It is based on a selection of papers presented at the XI Polish Drying Symposium 2005. The contributions cover theoretical, as well as experimental and modeling research on heat and mass transfer processes during drying of porous material and fluidized beds. The book is a pioneering contribution to the science and technology of drying of particulate solids.
Mechanics and Physics of Porous Solids
Author: Olivier CoussyPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119956161
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Mechanics and Physics of Porous Solids addresses the mechanics and physics of deformable porous materials whose porous space is filled by one or several fluid mixtures interacting with the solid matrix. Coussy uses the language of thermodynamics to frame the discussion of this topic and bridge the gap between physicists and engineers, and organises the material in such a way that individual phases are explored, followed by coupled problems of increasing complexity. This structure allows the reader to build a solid understanding of the physical processes occurring in the fluids and then porous solids. Mechanics and Physics of Porous Solids offers a critical reference on the physics of multiphase porous materials - key reading for engineers and researchers in structural and material engineering, concrete, wood and materials science, rock and soil mechanics, mining and oil prospecting, biomechanics.

Book Description
The world we live in exhibits, on different scales, many phenomena related to the diffusion of gases. Among them are the movement of gases in earth strata, the aeration of soils, the drying of certain materials, some catalytic reactions, purification by adsorption, isotope separation, column chro matography, cooling of nuclear reactors, and the permeability of various packing materials. The evolution of the understanding of this subject has not always been straightforward and progressive-there has been much confusion and many doubts and misunderstandings, some of which remain to this day. The main reason for the difficulties in the development of this subject is, we now know, the lack of an understanding of the effects of walls on diffusing systems. Textbooks usually treat diffusion on two levels: at the physicochemi cal or molecular level, making use of the kinetic theory of gases (which while a very rigorous and well-founded theory nevertheless is valid only for systems without walls), or at the level of a transport phenomenon, a level geared toward applications. The influence of walls is usually disregarded or is treated very briefly (for example, by taking account of the Knudsen regime or by introducing a transition regime of limited validity) in a way unconnected with previous studies. As a consequence, the extensive, gener alized, and well-founded knowledge of systems without walls has often been applied without sound basis to real situations, i.e., to systems with walls.

Book Description
The book aimes at imparting basics of the subject besides the latest trends in the evolution of technologies and important industrial practices. Besides the technological aspects, adequate emphasis has also been laid on the quality aspects and adequate knowledge input required for a student or professional in Food Science and Technology. The book contains 16 s addressing various important aspects such as unit operations, thermal processing, hurdle technology preservation, cold preservation, dehydration, freezing, and advanced thermal techniques such as infrared and microwaves besides non-thermal aspects such as high pressure and pulsed electric field processing as well as ?-irradiation. State-of-art subject areas such as functional foods could be an added flavour as the global food market has ample potential in the area of functional foods. Food packaging and food laws are important in commercializing processed foods as well as fresh produce and the areas require due emphasis to make the book more comprehensive.

Book Description
International contributors give wide coverage of the latest developments in the theory and practice of the drying of solids. Drying is one of the most common and energy-intensive operations in industry, and the cost is determined by the desired level of product moisture and the unit operation of nonthermal dewatering--hence the commissioned article on a new dewatering technique. Articles are balanced between theory and applications and practicing engineers should find a wealth of useful information. Topics covered include drying theory and modelling, drying of granular solids, drying of sheets, drying of foodstuffs, drying of agricultural products, solar drying, and drying of slurries.
