Rotary Drum: Fluid Dynamics and Applications provides in-depth analysis of fluid dynamics in rotary drums. In addition, it provides analysis on the different configurations, including non-conventional ones, diverse industrial applications, and comparison with competing dryer types, as well as the modelling of these devices.

Covering important aspects of fluid dynamics in rotary drums, which directly influence the drying performance, the book also considers the significant cost of conventional rotary dryers. It takes into account the scale-up of rotary dryers and the control of product quality during processing, which can leave the final product overdried and overheated, wasting thermal energy.

The book serves as a useful reference for researchers, graduate students, and engineers in the field of drying technology.
