Alper Ozalp Chapter 25 Fundamentals of Paper Drying – Theory and Application from Industrial Perspective 535 Ajit K Ghosh Preface The theoretical analysis and modeling of heat and mass transfer rates produced in evaporation and condensation processes are significant issues in a design of wide range of industrial processes and devices. This book introduces advanced processes and modeling of evaporation, boiling, water vapor condensation, cooling, heat transfer, heat exchanger, fluid dynamic simulations, fluid flow, and gas flow to the international community. It includes 25 advanced and revised contributions, and it covers mainly (1) evaporation and boiling, (2) condensation and cooling, (3) heat transfer and exchanger, and (4) fluid and flow. The first section introduces evaporation phenomenon, flow boiling, heat transfer during quenching, two-phase flow, temperature disturbances during boiling, and pool boiling. The second section covers steam condensation, condensation inside helical coil, thermo-hydraulic performance of cooling networks, heat exchange with embedded cooling devices, and solar cooling systems. The third section includes heat transfer in heat-released rod bundles, in buildings, in transitional flow regime, in stretching sheet, and in solar heat receiver, photovoltaic module thermal regulation, relative-air humidity sensing element, cross-flow tube heat exchanger, spiral plate heat exchanger, metal foam transport properties, and soret and dufour effects. The forth section presents computational fluid dynamic simulations, turbulent heat transfer, fluid flow, fluid viscoelasticity, non-equilibrium reacting gas flows, high-carbon alcohol aqueous solutions, hydraulic resistance in rough tubes, fluid mechanics, thermodynamic, and fundamental of paper drying. The readers of this book will appreciate the current issues of modeling on evaporation, water vapor condensation, heat transfer and exchanger, and on fluid flow in different aspects. The approaches would be applicable in various industrial purposes as well. The advanced idea and information described here will be fruitful for the readers to find a sustainable solution in an industrialized society. The editor of this book would like to express sincere thanks to all authors for their high quality contributions and in particular to the reviewers for reviewing the chapters.
