چکیده
Available commercial software to simulate flowsheets incorporating drying is reviewed briefly. Such software can be very cost-effective in the design, analysis, trouble-shooting as well as control and optimization of drying systems. A new comprehensive drying software suite is proposed and analyzed. Key factors to the success of drying software products are discussed. Motivation, principles and applications of the new drying software package, Simprosys, which represents a major step toward development of a comprehensive drying software suite, are presented.

Design and analysis of hybrid systems solar, wind, osmotic for green plants using ant colony optimization algorithm
Nature has always proven that it is able to overcome its problems. However, human manipulation has led to environmental degradations. The dryness of a thousand-year Urmia Lake (a brinewater lake in Iran) is an example of environmental degradation that happened due to successive droughts and construction of dams on the basin of this lake. This study examines methods for the revival of Urmia Lake...
متن کاملDesign and optimization of solar-assisted conveyer-belt dryer for biomass
Biomass, as a renewable source of energy, can be used in many industries to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. However, due to the significantly high and varied moisture content of biomass, its use has several drawbacks, such as low total efficiency and process instability. Drying biomass before combustion or gasification can eliminate these drawbacks. Besides these benefits, there ar...
