    Spray drying in a pressure vessel

    micalbrch: It is fairly straightforward to control the occlusion of gases in spray dried particles, many examples are found in pharmaceuticals and food. However the approximate final pressure of the occluded gas will be approximately equal to the pressure of the tower. hacksaw: I don't...

    Spray drying in a pressure vessel

    For example, it could be beneficial to have air occluded in the final particles at pressures greater than atmospheric.

    Spray drying in a pressure vessel

    Normally, spray drying is carried out at atmospheric pressure. Is it possible to / are there any examples of spray drying with the chamber vessel (i.e. post atomisation) under pressure (e.g. 10 bar)? Presumably it would be difficult, but not impossible, to carry out the removal of cold air /...

    Clear/transparent pipe section

    Hello all, In our pilot plant, we have a high pressure (up to 150 bar and approx 50 deg C) quarter inch pipeline accommodating two-phase flow of gas bubbles in a flowing liquid. For a variety of reasons, it is difficult to predict the bubble dynamics and even the solubility of the gas in the...
