Evaluation of Spray Drying Behavior by Model Simulation

This works presents a steady state behavior modeling and simulation study of spray dryer operational parameters and their influence on final product. Experimental data of skim milk drying was used to validate the simulator. However, the model is general and can be used for other materials of known properties. Changing sorption isotherm equation and adjusting specific heat capacity of solids, required quality specifications can be estimated by the simulator to any product, which can also determine the best operational parameters of the dryer.
