Drying Phenomena - Theory and Applications

Presents a comprehensive framework of drying phenomena and applications along with state-of-the-art research, fundamentals, research methodologies, novel systems and future prospects. Virtual Experiments in Mechanical Vibrations: Structural Dynamics and Signal Processing brings together topics in mechanical vibration and signal processing under the umbrella of virtual experiments in vibration. To achieve the aim of the reader being able to conduct some virtual experiments on vibration isolators, vibration absorbers, and distributed parameter structures such as beams and rods, a thorough grounding is provided in the vibrations and signal processing in the early chapters. The emphasis will be on physics rather than mathematics throughout the book. The second part of the book will contain the virtual experiments. Virtual Experiments in Mechanical Vibrations: Structural Dynamics and Signal Processing is an ideal book for a student, researcher or engineer with limited knowledge of vibrations and signal processing who has to carry out some experimental work in vibrations. Reveals research-oriented scientific vision, industrial concepts and prospects and interdisciplinary coverage within drying technology Includes detailed thermodynamic and heat/mass transfer analyses in a reader-friendly and easy-to-follow approach, as well as experimental and computational approaches, applicable for both professional engineers and academics Employs a logical and didactic approach with easy to follow explanations, case studies, illustrative examples and chapter-end problems.
