ABSTRACT

Presents Drying Breakthroughs for an Array of MaterialsDespite being one of the oldest, most energy-intensive unit operations, industrial drying is perhaps the least scrutinized technique at the microscopic level. Yet in the wake of today's global energy crisis, drying research and development is on the rise. Following in the footsteps of the widel
