Practical Considerations 64 Bibliography

The data for this example are taken from ref. 26 in the bibliography. Many experimental designs are available but a simple full factorial is taken by way of example. A full factorial design is where all combinations of the factors are experimentally explored. This is usually limited from practical consideration to low values. To simplify the matter further no replication was used. 

Discussing practical aspects of the inverse model such as stability, resolution, and statistical assessment would require considerably more development of the subject than presented here. For these important topics, the reader can consult the references quoted above and their enclosed bibliography. 

Currently there are fewer than ten major dryer manufacturers around the world that offer SSD technology on a commercial scale. Often, it is necessary to custom design an SSD for a new application, which may involve a new dryer type or an application to a new product. The author has presented an extensive review of principles, practice, industrial applications, potential new applications, market penetration potential, and research and development (R D) needs for SSD technologies [1]. Special consideration is given to potential hcations for use of electricity and reuse of the exhaust steam from an SSD. Kumar and Mujumdar have provided an extensive bibliography and discussed the basic principles and hcations of SSD [2].
