{"product_id":"introduction-to-drying-of-ceramics-isbn-9781574980462","title":"Introduction to Drying of Ceramics","description":"This important book will make an excellent addition to anyone involved in the drying of ceramic materials. In order to accommodate readers with a wide range of interest and abilities, most chapters are divided into sections by basic and advanced concepts. Selected chapters include introduction to drying; water, air, and water vapor; drying mechanisms in particulate systems; psychrometry; characterization of dryer operations; dryer control; drying defects; and advanced drying technologies. The book contains problems at the end of each chapter (with answers to selected problems in the appendix) and laboratory exercises.  \u003cb\u003eIntroduction to Drying.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part A: Basic Concepts. \u003cbr\u003e Part B: Advanced Concepts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWater, Air, and Water Vapor.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ePart A: Water. \u003cbr\u003e Part B: Air. \u003cbr\u003e Part C: Air-Water Vapor Mixtures.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDrying Mechanisms in Particulate Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ePart A: Basic Concepts. \u003cbr\u003e Part B: Stages of Drying.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Psychrometry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ePart A: Reading and Interpreting Psychrometric Charts. \u003cbr\u003e Part B: Advanced Concepts: Summary of Equations for Psychrometric Properties.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Characterization of Dryer Operations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ePart A: Analyzing Dryer Performance Using Psychrometric Charts. \u003cbr\u003e Part B: Sankey Diagrams and Dryer Thermal Efficiency.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dryer Control: Controlling Countercurrent Convection Dryers.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Drying Defects and Drying Shrinkage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ePart A: Drying Cracks Resulting from Material Preparation. \u003cbr\u003e Theoretical Treatment of Drying Shrinkage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAdvanced Drying Technologies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ePart A: Microwave Drying. \u003cbr\u003e Part B: Radio Frequency Drying. \u003cbr\u003e Part C: Airless Drying. \u003cbr\u003e Part D: Fast Drying Using Convection.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Laboratory Exercises.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eExperiment 1: Particle Size (Screen Analysis). \u003cbr\u003e Experiment 2: Particle Size (Sedimentation Analysis to Determine Colloidal Sizes). \u003cbr\u003e Experiment 3: Moisture Adsorption and Ignition Loss. \u003cbr\u003e Experiment 4: Extrusion of Clay Bodies. \u003cbr\u003e Experiment 5: Stages of Drying. \u003cbr\u003e Experiment 6: Permeability in Drying (Moisture Movement in Drying). \u003cbr\u003e Experiment 7: Mix Pelletizing. \u003cbr\u003e Experiment 8: Thermal Gradient Furnace Testing\/Thermal Expansion. \u003cbr\u003e Experiment 9: Firing Traditional Ceramics. \u003cbr\u003e Experiment 10: Firing Dry-Pressed Ceramics. \u003cbr\u003e Experiment 11: Advanced Properties of Pressed and Extruded Ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAppendix 1\u003c\/b\u003e: Symbols, Terms, and Units of Measurement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAppendix 2\u003c\/b\u003e: Conversion Factors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAppendix 3\u003c\/b\u003e: Answers to Selected Problems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAppendix 4\u003c\/b\u003e: Additional Psychrometric Charts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndex.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDenis A.
