INTRODUCTION
Drying is usually the final step in a series of operations, and the product from a dryer is often ready
for final packaging. Water or other liquids may be removed from solids mechanically by presses or
centrifuges or thermally by vaporization. Drying can be defined by reducing the moisture content from an
initial value to some acceptable final value. Most industrial dryers handle particulate solid during part of or
all the drying cycle, although some, of course, dry large individual pieces such as ceramic ware or sheet of
polymer. The solid to be dried may be in many different forms, such as flakes, granules, crystals, powders,
slab or continuous sheets, and may have widely differing properties. The liquid to be vaporized may be on
the surface of the solid, as in drying salt crystal ; it may be entirely inside the solid , as in solvent removal
from a sheet of polymer; or it may be partly outside and partly inside.
