DIFFUSION PROCESSES DURING DRYING OF SOLIDS
by K N Shukla (Vikram Sarabhai Space Ctr., India)
The monograph presents a detailed mathematical examination of the generalised laws of diffusion in capillary porous solids as applicable to particular geometric situations of interest in the technology of drying. The novelty of the monograph is to present the result in dimensionless form under general type of boundary conditions. Many important results are presented graphically. The integral transform technique is used throughout the work and a host of useful information of the technique is included in the appendix. Research scientists and practising engineers in the areas of applied mathematics, materials and energy will find it a very useful monograph.
Contents:
- Phenomenological Laws of Diffusion
- Integral Equation
Approach to Heat and Mass Transfer Problems
- Heat and Mass Transfer with Chemical Transformations
- Heat and Mass Transfer During Intensive Drying
- Heat and Mass Transfer During Freeze Drying
Readership: Applied mathematicians, materials scientists and engineers.
"The physical problems considered in this book are very interesting and very important both from the point of view of applications and of the modelization."
