This paper presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach to model the spray-
drying of a formulation of guava juice. The computational model incorporates the …

Agglomeration during spray drying improves the rehydration and flow properties of
produced powders. However, tools for predicting agglomeration are rare. In this work a …

During agglomeration in the nozzle zone of spray dryers, dry particles are forced to collide
with drying droplets. These collisions ideally form agglomerates with improved flowability …

Spray drying is an established technique, which widely employs cylinder-on-cone type
chambers. The air flow patterns inside such chambers are usually governed by transient …

A numerically effective approach was developed for the modeling of spray-drying of colloidal
suspensions. This approach was based on the integration of two models. The first is a …

This book covers the latest developments and advances in spray drying and describes how
they impact the basic aspect of designing and operating spray dryers. This generic approach …
