Abstract:

Available commercial software to simulate flowsheets incorporating drying is reviewed briefly. Such software can be very cost effective in the design, analysis, trouble-shooting, as well as control and optimization of drying systems. A new comprehensive drying software suite is proposed and analyzed. Key factors to the success of drying software products are discussed. Motivation, principles, and applications of the new drying software package, Simprosys, which represents a major step toward development of a comprehensive drying software suite, are presented.
