Drying R&D has seen nearly exponential growth over the past three decades. Initially driven
by the need to conserve energy in this highly energy-intensive operation found in almost all …

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art of design aspects,
energetic performances, and mathematical modeling on superheated steam drying (SSD). In …

To develop a novel noncatalytic biomass refinery process that can be used as a portable
process, superheated steam pyrolysis was investigated to produce both carbonized solid …

The literature during 2000–2016 about drying of biofuels from the forest has been reviewed.
Biofuels constitute a low-cost energy resource that is likely to continue to increase and the …

The results presented in this paper show the possibility to control the outgoing moisture
content using the exhaust temperature as a control parameter. A model for heat exchange is …

In this study, relatively large material was immersed in the superheated steam fluidized bed
of glass beads and the effect of operational conditions such as the pressures in the drying …

Conventional drying of the fibers from oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) using flue gas from
diesel burners frequently causes browning and dust explosion. Replacing the drying …

Empty fruit bunches (EFB) of the oil palm have great potential to be used as industrial fibers
in various industries, such as fiber board, mattress and cushion, erosion controller …

Drying kinetics of paddy are experimentally studied in a superheated steam fluidized bed
operating at reduced pressure. During the experiments, different operating pressures (40 …

Tumble dryers, used for the drying of textiles, consume a considerable amount of electricity
due to the large number of dryers in use. A large amount of this electricity is produced from …
