Conduction drying methods

There are three heat transfer mechanisms used to dry textiles. Conduction methods involve direct contact of the wet textile with heated surfaces. These are the most efficient heat transfer methods, but do not allow for control of fabric width during drying. Steam heated cylinders are examples of conduction drying methods... 

Since it was known that theophylline monohydrate can be thermally dehydrated to form either the stable Form I or the metastable Form I, the effect of different drying methods on the phase composition was studied [89], Using either a multichamber microscale fluid bed dryer or the hot stage of a variable-temperature XRPD diffractometer, Form I was produced when the drying was conducted at 40-50°C. Drying at 60°C in the VT-XRPD unit yielded only Form I, while mixtures of products were produced in the microscale fluid bed dryer even at temperatures as high as 90 °C. 

One method he finally adopted was to mix the non-conducting, dry earth (lime, strontia, or baryta) with excess potash and fuse it. When he covered the alkaline mixture with naphtha and passed an electric current through it, he soon saw metallic globules rising and bursting into flame, but when the flame died out, there remained nothing except potash and the alkaline earth with which he had started (2,3). 

The final process of solvent removal, known as drying, can be conducted by two methods "air-dry and "water-dry . There is also a "continuous air-dry method , which is used in conjunction with "water-dry method ... 

The standard scoping calculation methods for batch conduction drying apply. The rate of heat transfer from the heating medium through the dryer wall to the solids can be expressed by the usual formula... 

The first plastic to be metallized on a commercial scale was ABS, which is used as a replacement for the much heavier zinc alloy die castings widely used in the motor industry. Many other polymers are now coated not only for decorative purposes such as bathroom fittings but also for the production of objects where the specific properties of metals such as electrical conductivity, high reflectivity and good barrier properties are combined with those of polymers such as toughness, flexibility, corrosion resistance and low cost. The techniques used to produce highly adherent metal deposits may be divided into two major groups, dry methods and wet methods. 

In this section, electrical drying methods are briefly discussed - examples of applications are discussed in Chapter 10. As an example, the industrial microwave dryer exhibits similar benefits to the domestic microwave oven - the energy is taken directly to the inside of the object(s) being heated, rather than having to be conducted from the surface of the particle or body. Microwave drying can be combined with conventional (hot air) drying to finish off the process, and a combination of...
