Once the analytical method is validated for accuracy at the laboratory scale, it can be used to obtain extensive information on process performance (blend homogeneity, granulation particle size distribution, and moisture content) under various conditions (blender speed, mixing time, drying air temperature, humidity, volume, etc.). Statistical models can then be used to relate the observable variables to other performance attributes (e.g., tablet hardness, content uniformity, and dissolution) in order to determine ranges of measured values that are predictive of acceptable performance. 

Y. Sano [107] described the influence of the film thickness, 8, on the drying course of water-moist polyimide films. In thick films (6 = 1 mm), the liquid-side diffusion plays an important role from the very beginning. The surface concentration quickly drops off to an equilibrium value and the temperature at the film surface increases to the drying air temperature, without reaching a constant steady-state goods temperature. A period of constant drying rate does not appear. 

The water evaporative capacities of the range of standard industrial spray dryers offered by one manufacturer is given in Fig. 7.5 as a function of inlet drying air temperature. Units with capacities up to 40,000 Ib/h (18,100 kg/h) or more of water evaporation are available. Dryer size in Fig. 7.5 is related to the mass flow rate of drying air several drying chamber physical sizes are possible for each of these air rates, depending on inlet temperature,...

The thermal energy of the hot air is used for evaporation and the cooled air pneumatically conveys the dried particles in the system. The contact time of the hot air and the spray droplets is only a few seconds, during which drying is achieved and the air temperature drops instantaneously. The dried particle never reaches the drying air temperature. This enables efficient drying of heat-sensitive materials without thermal decomposition.

Drying air temperature and flow rate are normally fixed at a constant value. However, by adjusting the airflow rate and its temperature, it is possible to save energy and reduce attrition. Mechanical assistance such as agitation or vibration is normally applied for processing materials that are difficult to fluidize. Figure 8.6 shows a typical batch FBD with expanded freeboard and built-in internal bag fillers. Expanded freeboard is used to reduce elutriation of fine particles.
