Tray dryers are usually designed with simplistic scaling rules that do not account for all the transport phenomena associated drying. The use of computational fluid dynamics coupled response surface methodology can be a powerful tool to evaluate how different tray dryer design parameters affect drying process. In this work, two dryers, one lateral air inlet and another bottom inlet, were parame...

World wide in pharmaceutical industry, fluid bed processing technology emerged as useful application. Batch type fluid processes are using in pharmaceutical industry since 30 years. Originating in Europe, this technology gradually found its way into U.S. manufacturing facilities, beginning with the use of fluid bed dryers. The earliest fluid bed dryers were a cabinet type construction with a si...

Drying plays a crucial role in various industries such as food production, agriculture, Siddha, Ayurveda, and medical fields. To achieve controlled drying conditions, heat pump dryer is considered an effective method, allowing for precise control of parameters like temperature, humidity, air velocity. In this study, was designed constructed to investigate the characteristics Bermuda grass (Cyno...

The noodles in the market are dry with 8-10% water content. Dried have a longer shelf life because they less prone to mold growth. Drying help of sun and tray dryers currently an option efficient do not require lot energy. Reduction content is also optimized by soaking wet salt water. This study aims determine effect flow rate decrease noodles. began solution variation 50-150 g/L, then dried fo...

AIMS To compare an ultra-rapid hand dryer against warm air dryers, with regard to: (A) bacterial transfer after drying and (B) the impact on bacterial numbers of rubbing hands during dryer use. METHODS AND RESULTS The Airblade™ dryer (Dyson Ltd) uses two air 'knives' to strip water from still hands, whereas conventional dryers use warm air to evaporate moisture whilst hands are rubbed togethe...

in the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (concap tray) have been carried out. the concap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. the effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the concap tray was measured, compared and correlated. the hydraulic experiments w...
