TL;DR: In this paper, the development of surface stickiness of droplets of sugar and acid-rich foods during spray drying can be explained using the notion of glass transition temperature (T-g).

TL;DR: In this paper, a large family of materials, obtained from more or less complex processes, are described, and their elaboration involves several steps that basically include a sol gel transition or a precipitation.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental set up specially designed for the investigation of drying kinetics, of heat transfer coefficient evolution, and of the mechanical torque necessary for stirring was presented, which was applied to municipal sewage sludge.

TL;DR: Based on a very simple model of mass conservation, three experimental properties (solid density, liquid density and initial bulk density) and the simultaneous acquisition of the reduced moisture content and the volume shrinkage during drying, a simple method is proposed to calculate the bulk porosity of a material during drying as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the performance of scratch tyre pyrolysis under nitrogen at atmospheric pressure with the aim of producing a solid residue to be burned simultaneously with coal dust in a coal burning power plant.
