Opis

The book shows how to numerically capture important physical phenomena within a spray drying process using the CFD technique. It includes numerical strategies to describe these phenomena, collated from research work and CFD industrial consultation. Along with showing how to set up models, the book helps readers identify the capabilities a

O autorze

Meng Wai Woo is currently a senior lecturer of chemical engineering at Monash University, Australia. His research interest is in spray drying. He has experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the spray drying process and in applying this technique for industry. Within the area of spray drying, he is also examining the droplet evaporation, particle formation or interaction phenomena and in engineering the functionality of particles. Dr. Woo also explores new approaches to spray drying in introducing the antisolvent vapor precipitation approach and most recently, the narrow tube spray drying technique.
