TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a drying process driven by using hot air, where these processes have significantly high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and they showed that these processes can be improved with the use of renewable energy.

TL;DR: In this article, a computational fluid dynamic model along with a new drying kinetics model was employed to simulate the spray-drying performance of an industrial-scale co-current spray dryer for a relatively heat-sensitive product.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of various pretreatments on drying kinetics as well as quality parameters of selected vegetables and fruits was studied experimentally in a convective dryer, and the results showed that the drying performance of products that possess a skin of low moisture diffusivity, such as chilli, can be improved significantly by blanching and making perforations in the skin.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize the process of innovation, identify features common to new drying technologies and survey some of the innovative dryen, which are a result of "technology push" as opposed to "market pull".

TL;DR: In this article, a three dimensional computational fluid dynamic investigation is carried out to predict the turbulent flow and surface heat transfer under an impinging air jet issuing normally from a single noncircular orifice in a plate held parallel to the target surface.
