Drying is one of the most complex and energy-consuming chemical unit operations. R&D
efforts in drying technology have skyrocketed in the past decades, as new drivers emerged …

Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) has been developed since the late 1980s for
visualization and measurement of a permittivity distribution in a cross section using a multi …

Wet particle drying process is complex due to the change of particle moisture, which has big
effect on the gas–solid properties, flow dynamics and mass and heat transfer behavior. In …

A great deal of industrial processes involves drying processes that removes water from the
surface and interior of particles, where knowing the flow behavior, mass and heat transfer is …

The development of a physics-based model of food processing is essential to improve the
quality of processed food and optimize energy consumption. Food materials, particularly …

Particulate process measurement presents challenges because it often involves multiphase
flow. Due to its advantages over other tomography modalities, electrical capacitance …

Wet granules drying in a fluidized bed is a complex process and the process involves heat
and mass transfer between gas and solid phases as well as the moisture changes in the …

The design of thermal processes in the food industry has undergone great developments in
the last two decades due to the availability of cheap computer power alongside advanced …

Fluidized bed dryers (FBD) are commonly employed in many industries to dry particulate
solids. FBDs provide good solids mixing, high rates of heat and mass transfer, and relative …

Although the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model coupled with population
balance (CFD‐PBM) is becoming a common approach for simulating gas–solid flows in …
