MATHEMATICAL SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE CONTINUOUS DRYING OF THERMOLABILE MATERIALS

A mathematical model of the heat and mass transfer and the phase transformations in colloidal capillary-porous materials and a numerical method for calculating the dynamics of these processes in the indicated materials and the shrinkage of them in their drying in a continuous-belt drier have been developed for the purpose of optimization of the drying process. An energy-effi cient, resource-conserving convective-condensation method of drying thermolabile materials, which makes it possible to decrease the drying time, is presented.
