Advantages of using superheated steam at atmospheric pressure in drying processes

Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper shows the variation of the driving forces of external and internal mass transfer in relation to the temperature of the heat-transfer media (superheated steam and air). It is indicated that the use of superheated steam at atmospheric pressure accelerates transport processes and leads to more efficient and more economic drying.
