A pseudo-convective heat-transfer operation is one in which the heating gas (generally air) is passed over a bed of solids. Its nse is almost exchisively limited to drying operations (see Sec. 12, tray and shelf dryers). The operation, sometimes termed direct, is more aldu to the coudnctive mechanism. For this operation, Tsao and Wheelock [Chem. Eng., 74(13), 201 (1967)] predict the heat-transfer coefficient when radiative and conductive effects are absent by... 

Special Cases of Radiative Heat Transfer in Freeze Drying... 

Two special cases of radiative heat transfer which are applicable to heat transfer in freeze drying are illustrated by Figure 32. Heat transfer between body 1 and body 2 are illustrated for case I (Fig. 32a), where body 1 is of much greater area than body 2, Ai A2, and surrounds body 2. The freeze-drying example is heat exchange between the top of the vial (body 2) and the freeze dryer shelf... 

BCPDA is a tetradentate ligand, and forms 1 1 complexes in these conditions. The metal ion is thus coordinatively unsaturated, and also binds a number of water molecules, which can lead to non-radiative quenching of the metal-centered excited state (vide supra). These must be removed by drying to achieve optimal luminescence intensity. This form of assay is, in fact, slightly less sensitive than DELFIA. 

Removal of water from solids is most often accomplished by contacting them with air of low humidity and elevated temperature. Less common, although locally important, drying processes apply heat radiatively or dielectrically in these operations as in freeze drying, the role of any gas supply is that of entrainer of the humidity.

Example 12 WSGG Clear plus Gray Gas Emissivity Calculations Methane is burned to completion with 20 percent excess air (50 percent relative humidity at 298 K or 0.0088 mol water/mol dry air) in a furnace chamber of floor dimensions 3 x 10 m and height 5 m. The entire surface area of the enclosure is a gray sink with emissivity of 0.8 at temperature 1000 K. The confined gas is well stirred at a temperature of 1500 K. Evaluate the clear plus gray WSGG constants and the mean effective gas emissivity, and calculate the average radiative flux density to the enclosure surface. 

Location of the monitored vials in the vial array on the shelf is also an important factor in recording representative data. Vials on the edge of an array (i.e., facing the dryer door or walls) normally are not representative of the vials in the interior of an array, which are surrounded by other vials.Due to differences in radiative heat transfer, such vials normally dry faster at a higher temperature. With a shelf temperature around 5°C, temperature bias is about 1°C, with drying time bias about and the effect increases... 

The term on the left describes the heat of the gas to the particle. Radiative heat transfer is excluded. The first term on the right describes the required heat for increasing temperature of the particle. The second term shows the heat needed to cover the latent heat of evaporating water. The effect of bound water is excluded, because it is small compared to heat of vaporization [8]. Drying the fiiel particle is described with an experimentally defined function z(u). The last term describes the heat needed to rise the temperature of water vapour from evaporation to leaving air temperature. 

An inspection of the liquid yields as functions of the radiative heat flux reveals that the higher the char yields are the lower the liquids. The maximum liquid yields, attained for applied heal fluxes of 49-69kW/m vary from about 56-57% (beech, Douglas fir and pine) to 52% (redwood) and 47% for chesmut. Hence, the wood variety may cause variations in the optimal liquid yields up to 10% of the initial dry wood mass. 

In one of the major applications of radiative devices (drying), the surface-held moisture is a good heat absorber in the 2- to 7-pm wavelength range. Therefore, the absorptivity, color, and nature of the solids are of little importance.
