    The goalComprehension of physical, thermodynamic, kinetic and technological aspects of thermal drying of wet materials and design of convective dryers. Kinetics and dynamics of the process is focused on the following industries: chemical, textile, pharmaceutical, paper, graphic engineering, food processing, agricultural, etc.
    The outcomeStudents will learn about fundamental principles of a thermal drying process: mechanism of drying, mass and energy balances during a drying process, and will learn to perform calculations and design of a convective dryer.
