The use of computers to perform simulations of chemical engineering processes has lead to the development of software tools that perform most tedious computations in the field of process analysis, mathematical modeling and design. In the case of dryers, these mathematical programming aspects can be dealt in a straightforward way. The mathematical models of all popular convective dryers are presented and analysed. The transport and thermophysical properties of materials and air involved in the developed mathematical models are briefly discussed. The simulation of convective drying processes facilitated by modern computer technology is outlined and discussed. Design of convective industrial dryers is described and performed through the simulation tools developed. Short-cut design techniques are introduced allowing concentrted information on design results for various levels of process parameters and variables to be integrated in generalized design curves that produce values of optimal dryer structures and operating condition related to cost.The use of computers to perform simulations of chemical engineering processes has lead to the development of software tools that perform most tedious computations in the field of process analysis, mathematical modeling and design.
