Solids Drying: Basics and Applications - Chemical Engineering
WEBApr 1, 2014 · Drying may be defined as the vaporization and removal of water or other liquids from a solution, suspension, or other solid-liquid mixture to form a dry solid. It is a complicated process that involves simultaneous heat and mass transfer, accompanied by physicochemical transformations. Drying occurs as a result of the vaporization of liquid by ...
WEBLS solution for combustion management. Since the system measures gas concentration in the radiant section of the fired heater, it improved the heater sa. ety and overall operational eficiency.In this application, the system is installed with two TDLS analyzers for measurement of O2, CO and CH4 concentration.
Ethylene Production via Cracking of Ethane-Propane
WEBNov 1, 2015 · The process shown in Figure 1 is a steam-cracking process for ethylene production from an ethane-propane mixture. The process can be divided into three main parts: cracking and quenching; compression and drying; and separation. Figure 1. This process diagram shows an ethylene-production process via the cracking of an ethane-propane mixture.

Viscosity: The Basics - Chemical Engineering | Page 1
WEBAug 1, 2009 · To be brief, viscosity is resistance to flow. For handlers of all materials that flow, either while being processed or in an end-use, it is important to think about the materials’ flow characteristics. The bottom line is to come up with ways to measure viscosity so that you can quantify whether a material will flow the way it needs to.
