TWC15 Dewatering and Drying
OverviewWe would like to invite papers relating to dewatering and drying. We would like to solicit papers relating to modeling and simulation of various pieces of equipment, including mechanical dewatering. Industries using drying technology could include, but not limited to drying of wood, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials chemical and polymer materials. Also measurement and determination of physical properties, as well as related experimental or theoretical techniques on the particle level, to help design various drying equipment would be of interest.
