The second volume of a two-volume reference that provides the key elements of fundamentals along with details of industrial dryers and special aspects of drying in specific industries, e.g., foods, pulp and paper, and pharmaceuticals. The two volume work is divided into four parts, and this revised and expanded edition makes additions to each part. An extensive chapter is added to Part I on transport properties needed for dryer calculations. Chapters on infrared drying and the novel impinging stream dryers are added to Part II. Part III (the first five chapters are in Volume 1, the remaining 13 chapters in Volume 2) contains the largest enhancement with ten new chapters, while Part IV is completely new except for the chapter on humidity measurements.
