Abstract
When suspensions, aerosols or slurries contain solid particles that cannot be mechanically dried a spray dryer should be employed. Widely spread in food and pharma industry, spray dryers are suitable to ensure low residence time at high temperature. The unit height is designed according to the residual moisture specification by mean of an ODEs system arising from mass and heat balances.
