Introduction

Introduction-Science of the drying

More quickly, More uniformly, demanded from the dry process in the manufacture.
In order to realize it, it is important to know how heat and a substance will move in the from internal to surface for dryness.
In addition, it is important to know what kind of process a dry object changes by to solve troubles such as non-drying, crack, foaming, transformation to occur by a dry process.

This seminar describes a fundamental theory about the heat flow and mass transfer in material as that foundation, and explains the practical use method.
