PREFACE

Drying is an important unit operation used in numerous industries and well known
as a dominant industrial consumer of fossil fuel-derived energy in developed countries.
As standard of living rises in the developing world energy usage for drying operations
will rise along with the demand for energy-efficient, faster, environmentally friendly
(minimal carbon foot print) and cost-effective drying technologies will continue to
increase worldwide. Indeed, the growth in energy consumption for drying will increase
at a higher pace in the rapidly developing world, in particular the rapidly developing as
well as very large economies of China, Brazil and India. As the fuel prices rise, it is
necessary to develop sustainable drying technologies using renewable sources using
innovative ideas. This is also reflected in the continuing success of the International
Drying Symposium (IDS) series and numerous sister conferences as a well as a premier
archival journal devoted exclusively to drying science, technology and engineering.
Drying R&D seems to have reached a sustainable level of activity around the globe, still
there is tremendous scope to carry out R&D in this complex process.

This one day workshop is organized by Minerals, Metals and Materials Technology
Centre (M3TC) of NUS, Singapore to disseminate the basic and applied knowledge about
drying and attract more young researchers to the field of drying. The workshop is also a
part of a Mechanical Engineering module, Industrial Transport Processes (ME5202).
This e-book is a collection of power point presentations of the speakers participated in
this workshop. It is important to note the special efforts of speakers in preparing their
power point presentations. We are truly grateful for the outstanding effort of our
speakers for their truly thankless contribution in the interest of global dissemination of
a useful information. We believe this e-book can be used for teaching as well as R&D
purposes and also as a supplementary notes for the students.
