On the computer simulation of heat and mass transfer in vacuum freeze–drying
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper is devoted to studying the problem of freeze– drying which is a process of the dehydrating frozen materials by sublimation under high vacuum. The mathematical and the computer models describing this process are presented. The discretizations used and the numerical treatment of the corresponding ordinary and partial differential equations is discussed. The results of some test experiments and the corresponding analysis can be found.

Simulation of Stresses Induced by Heat and Mass Transfer in Drying Process of Clay-like Material
Drying represents one of the oldest unit operations employed in industrial processes. Drying is viewed as a process of simultaneous heat and mass transfer. Porous Clay-like material undergoes stresses due to non-uniform distribution of temperature and moisture induced by heat and mass transfer respectively. The aim of this work is to simulate the stresses induced by heat and mass transfer durin...
