Abstract
The general problem of the drying of solids can be complex as three types of transport exist for liquid and vapour (Fig. 1.1):
-
1.
The transport of liquid within a solid.
-
2.
The evaporation of liquid from the surface of the solid.
-
3.
The transport of vapour through the grains of the solid.
