    HIS review covers items that are bclieved t o he of interestto workers dealing with drying problems of a practical and atheoretical nature. It is arranged in thrcc sections: Drying

    Fundamentals, Drying Methods, and Drying of Specific Ma-terials.

    Much of the litera ture reviewed was descriptive , stressingmodifications or adaptations to existing drying techniques.A few articles presented information of a fundamental nature.However, as in the past, there is still a need for good funda-mental work in drying and for good operating data on plantscale dryers for comparison with t he results of small scale ex-periments to improve scale-up methods.

    T

    DRYING FUNDAMENTALSThe mechanism of freeze drying an d vacuum drying of wet

    clay by evaporation in the absence of air was investigated byStrickland-Constable and Bruce ( @A ) , who found that thedrying rate of frozen clay depends primarily on the ra te of cscapeof vapor and t hat at constant heat input the drying rate of wetclay is constant above 21% nioisturr and then falls steeply to 6%moisture, which moisture is probably in the adsorbed conditionThese same authors (44A) also studied th e sublimation of pureice at t empr ratu res around -5O"C, a t prcsaures whcre the meanfree path is small compared nith the apparatus dimension.Spalding (41A) presented a method for calculating niass-trans-fer rates and considered, in particul ar, the case of simultaneousheat and mass transfcr as illustrat,ed by the net- and dry-bulbhygrometer. T w o pap rrs on the mechanism of drying prc-srnt ed at a meeting of the Inst itut ion of Chemical Engincersx-ere abstracted in Cheiiizcal Age. In the first of these, King andNenitt (22A)reported, on the basis of experiments in the dryingof beds of moist nonporous materials, the following drying rat epcriods: constant heating up rate, pseudo-constant rate, firstfalling rate, an d second falling rate. In the second paper,Corben and Sewitt (10A) extended their investigation of th emechanism of drying of solids to the drying of porous granularmaterials. Butler and Plewes (6.4) derived a theoretical relationfor the evaporation of a plane of solid material in to air in stream-line flow. Subsequently, Plewes, Butler, and Marshall (30A)found that experimental va,iorization rates for seven solids weregreater tha n predicted by this thcory. Polonskaya (81A, %A)investigated temperature and nioisture distributioiis during theconst ant-ra te drying of gypsum board.

    The mechanism of liquid jet breakupvia? studied photographically by Richardson (MA ) , wh o dis-tinguished thrcc regimes of floiv, each resulting in a special typeof breakup-Le., capillary ripples which brenlc up into droplets,sinuous oscillation of the cylinder axis, and breakup due to airfriction. Harmon ( 1 f iA )extended previons theoretical work forpredicting the drop size t o be expected from a slow-bpced jetto the case where the fluid flows in fully developed laminar f l owas it issues from the nozzle. Bitron (2a) dcmonstrated thatthe A-ukiyama-Tanasaux equation for mean drop size in air

    Sprays and Droplets.

    atomization was applicable to atomization by supersonic airjets. Tho possibility of introducing errors in the mean dropsize by exclusion of many of th e smaller particles, t oo oftenignored in the past, was pointed out. Equations for the largestdrop size during atomization and a distribution function fromstatistical considerations were derived by Troesch (4fiA).

    Marshall (27A) reviewed developments in the fields of a tom ita -tion and spray drying. Considered were the principles of je tbre aku p, the performance characteristics of apinning-disk,pneumatic, an d centrifugal or swirl-type atomizers; methods forpresenting drop-size distribution dat a; evaporation from dropsand sprays; and the factors involved in the design and per-formance of spray dryers. Combined with the previous work ofScltzer and Settclmeyer (4OA) , w ho placed their emphasis onspray drying equipment, an excellent compilation of t he in-formation in these fields is now available

    Ingebo (18A) measured the vaporization ratcs and dragcocfficients for iso-octane sprays in a turbulent gas streamDra g coefficients were correlated empirically, and the vaporiza-tion rates based on a mean diameter agreed with single-dropletdat a. The ballistics of an evaporating droplet injccted counter-curient t o the air flow direction were developed by Miesse(289, 2.9.4), who later showed that his analysis was consistentwith the evperimental rrsults obtained by Ingebo (18A). Usingsuspensions of controlled, uniform size, Burgoyne and Cohen( 4 4 ) studicd the effcct of drop size on flame propagation andfound that below 10 microns the suspension behaved as a vapor,

    hilc above 40 microns the droplets burn individually in theirown air envelope, one burning drop igniting adjacent oncs.

    Garner and Grafton (13A) correlated their results for the dis-solution of benzoic acid spheres in water by an equation differingfrom Frossling's equation, principally in the constant term.Expressions for the burning rate of a fuel droplct, the tem-perature of th e flame front, and the radius of thc combustionsurface weie obtained by Goldsmith and Penner (14-4).

    DRYINGDevclopment Co . (8,4). Schwartzman (S 3a ) compared themoisture determination in coffee by toluene distillation withoven drying. A device based on the pressure developed by re-act,ion of water and calcium carbide for the rapid indication ofsurface moisture in powdered, granulated, or fibrous materials isavailable from Hey1 and Patterson ( 7 A ) . Gray and Whelan( 1 68 ) showed that the moisture content of coal could be con-veiiiently determined with an accuracy of about 5% over therange from 15 to 40% by measuring the heat effect due to mix-ing with sulfuric acid. Fetzer and Ili rst (12a) urveyed moisturedetermination methods for gluten and sweetened feeds. 3vacuum drying device for determining water in emulsions, oint-ments, pastes, or in very viscous materials \vas dcscribcd by Pur r(3SA). Jensen, Kelley, and Burtoii (13$) adapted high-fre-quency techniques to the determination of moisture in salts. Theuse of formamide as an extraction solvent with Karl Fischerreagent in determining the moisture content of foods was in-vestigated by McComb and Wright (%A) , \Tho found that theirresults did not always agree with vacuuni-oven values.

    Hygrometry. il measuring appa ratu s for the continuous deter-mination of gas moisture based on the fogging of a polished sur-face was described by Ripka (MA) . Moisture-sensitive ele-ments of white pine shavings are comparable with hair-typeelements in accuracy, stability, and response rate according toCase (64). The dependence of electrical resistance of strips ofgelatin, agar, poly (vinyl alcohol), and other similar materials ont,he relative humidity of th e surrounding atmosphere was showngraphically by Kersten ( 2 lA ) ,mho also described the successfulcontrol of the humidity of a chamber by units made from severalof these materials in connection with a suitable electronic circuit.Webb and Neugebauer ( 4 7A ) described a method for the rapid,continuous determination of water vapor in air by measuring itsdielectric constant. .4 rapid-response hygrometer whose act,iondepends on the change produced in electrical resistance of a thinfilm of potassium dihydrogen phosphate or similar salt by achange in humidity was reported by the Kational Bu reau ofStandards (3-4). The development and testing of an electronicinstrument, the Teka Dieleetrometer, for det>erminirigmoisturein oil or natu ral gas \\-ere reported by Weisbcclwr ( 4 8 4 ) .

    Rotary Dryers. Rockwell and others (SOB) evaluated a dryerfor apple Flices consisting of a perforated, rotating sheet-metaldrum with the drying air delivered through the bed of ninterialby air ducts located along the dryer. Uniform trea tmen t andrednced mechanical damage to the material are claimed to re-sult from this drying scheme. Pierce (28R) described a typicalDchydrO-mat dryer installation and gave performanee data fora unit used to dry fish meal. Spraul (SIB)evaluated conven-tional equations for estimating the relationship between per-centage holdup and retention in rotar y air dryers for 25 materialsand concluded th at all the equations tested were limited in therange ovcr which they are valid and t ha t i t was not posssible t opredict their useful range. Theoretical equations for the holdupand holding time in a rotary kiln with a ring wcir were derivedby Koutsuma (19B). An item in Chemical E n g i n e e r i n g ( 6 B idescribcd rotary-kiln installations exhibiting high thermalefficiencies. The temperature patt ern and heat exchange for ahypothetical frit ealciner mere analyzed by Helmbold ( I @ ) .Rauer ( S R ) and Borofsky (@) discussed the control of rotarykilns The largest steam tube rotary dryer in the world, 10 feetin diameter and 100 feet long and built by General AmericanTransportation Co., was noted by Alcoa ( I B ) . Since then,another dryer having the same diameter but 10 feet longer w asbuilt by GATX.

    Pneuma tic Conveying Dryers. Drying data for a variety ofmaterials in a pneumatic conveying dryer were obtained byKamei and Toei ( I 7 B , 18B),who concluded tha t the initial dryingra te was high, falling off rapidly to a nearly constant valueKeel and others (8@) investigated the performance of an a ir-lift dryer for piedrying of potato granulcs, with final dryingtaking place in a continuous fluidized bed dryer. Th e resiiltsof experiments on pota to granule drying in a pneumatic convey-ing dryer were described by Cooley and others ( IOB) .

    Th e operation of a pilot plan t for flash drying of coal wasdescribed by Tanno and Sasaki ( S CB) . Equipment and operat-ing results of a pneumatic conveying dryer for ammonium sulfa tewere described by Ka,gano and Akizawa (ISB). Chenicul Bn-gineering (8B) notes that the Parry dryer used principally forcoal drying in the pa st is now being marketed for other granularmaterials.

    Buckham and Moulton ( 5 B ) investigated thegas recirculation and particle expansion in spray drying. Th ryfound th at t he extent of vertical gas mixing bccause of the jeteffect of thc high-velocity inle t air stream and localized volumecontraction due to cooling from the spray indicated relativelyconstant gas temp tmti ire in the drying zone. The spread ofresidence times of the smaller particles was greater th an expected.Ismberg (16R) described a spray drying installation in whichflue gnscs from boilers are used t o supply the heat. Parke r(26B)patented a drying scheme in which t,hc material to be driedis sprayed into a Venturi section to get high velocities prior toeiitrririg an expansion chamber.
