In tradition, there have been two kinds of drying methods, which are sun drying and artificial drying. The sun drying method which has been adopted traditionally has been replaced by the hot-air drying method which is one of the most general methods of artificial drying, with its simple drying system, low initial cost of drying plant, and easy operating method. But the hot-air drying method has some defects ; (1)much energy loss happens due to the discharge of hot air during the drying process, (2)control of drying rate is not easy on account of changing relative humidity of inlet air for uniform hot air temperature, (3)high temperature of floods in drying process brings about the production of low-grade drying products. Also, the hot-air drying method is inducing environmental and sanitary problems which are resulting from the emission of high temperature and high humidity air, including stick on the drying progress. Vacuum drying technique, whose drying time and 7uantity of exhausting energy is about 1/3 ~1/4 of hot air drying, is very excellent in the drying efficiency. As the results, it took about 20 hours for material to reach about 18% of the final moisture content in order to store products for a long time, from about 470% of the early moisture content at the beginning of drying, and maximum drying rate comes to about $0.35 kg/m^2hr$ at about 350% of the moisture content.

The sun drying method which has been adopted traditionally has been replaced by the hot-air drying method which is one of the most general methods of artificial drying, with its simple drying system, low initial cost of drying plant, and easy operating method. But the hot-air drying method has some defects; (1) much energy loss happens due to the discharge of hot air during the drying process, (2) control of drying rate is not easy on account of changing relative humidity of inlet air for uniform hot air temperature, (3) high temperature of foods in drying process brings about the production of low-grade drying products. Vacuum drying takes advantage of energy saving and mass production because it reduces the drying time by increasing the drying rate under low temperature condition. The aim of this paper is to develop the low temperature vacum dryer, with low initial investments and operating costs, easy operating method and trouble-free operation.

Drying process in the cylindrical thin film layer of sludge with the thickness less than a few millimeters has been investigated. Thin film drying is specially designed and used to dry the viscous materials like sewage sludge. The thin film layer of sludge is dried on the metallic cylindrical surface through which thermal energy is supplied to the layer during drying. The wall temperature is assumed to be constant during drying in the present study for the simplification. In order to solve the equations, the mass transfer rate on the drying surface should be determined. The mass flux of evaporated water vapor on the surface is estimated with the formulation given in the literature. The effect of some physical parameters on drying has been examined to figure out the drying characteristics of the sludge layer.

This study was performed to develop thin layer drying equations fur short grain rough rice using far-infrared ray. Thin layer drying tests was conducted at four far-infrared ray temperature levels of 30, 40, 50, 60$^{\circ}C$ and two initial moisture content levels of 20.7, 26.2%(w.b.). The measured moisture ratios were fitted to Lewis and Page drying models by stepwise multiple regression analysis. Half response time of drying was affected by both drying temperature and initial moisture content at drying temperature of below 40$^{\circ}C$, but at above 40$^{\circ}C$ was mainly affected by drying temperature. Experimental constant(k) in Lewis model was a function of drying temperature, but K and N in Page model were function of drying temperature and initial moisture content. Moisture ratios predicted by two drying models agreed well with experimental values. But in the actual range of drying temperature above 30$^{\circ}C$ Page model was more suitable for predicting of drying rates.

The effects of the dispersion, drying, and binder burning-out on the green-microstructures of gelcasted alumina were studied. The slip consisting of 55 vol% alumina powder and 5 wt% organic materials was well-dispersed by adding 0.28 wt% polyelectrolyte polymer. Green bodies were dried at >85% relative humidity at room temperature. Green-microstructures were observed to be depended on the heating rate during binder burnout. Constant drying rate was not observed in drying process of gelcasted alumina. Sintered body showed its relative density higher than 99% when it was sintered at 1$600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours.

An experimental program of isotropic loading tests on a compacted kaolin using a conventional triaxial equipment modified for testing unsaturated soils was perform to investigate a loading collapse curve of unsaturated soils along wetting and drying paths. The test data are presented in terms of effective stress on a range of constant suction. The suction hardening behavior was observed for both wetted and dried samples. With the use of an appropriate effective stress parameter, the unique relationship for loading collapse curve for wetting and drying processes was obtained.

무우 및 고구마를 열풍건조하고 건조가 진행됨에 따라 표면적 변화를 측정하여 실험치와 잘 일치하는 건조수축식과 총괄적 건조 속도식을 구하였으며, 시료의 두께, 상대습도 및 풍속을 포함한 초기 건조속도의 함수관계 식을 구하였다. 건조속도 상수와 차수는 시료의 두께와 공기의 온도에 영향을 받았으며 일정한 건조 (d=4mm, $Ta=50^{\circ}C$, RH=10%, U=0.8m/s) 하에서 얻어진 총괄적 건조속도 식과 수축식은 무우는 $dx/dt=0.112{\times}10^{-2}{\cdot}A{\cdot}:(1-x)^{0.43}$, A=Ao(-0.480x+1)이었고, 고구마는 $dx/dt=0.115{\times}10^{-2}\;A(1-x)^{0.49}$, A=Ao(-0.368x+1)이었다. 또한 초기 건조속도의 변화는 시료의 두께, 상대습도, 및 풍속에 대해 무우는 $dx/dt=0.0648\;(RH)^{-0.31}\;(d)^{-0.75}\;(U)^{0.39}$이었고, 고구마는 $dx/dt=0.0547(RH)^{-0.28}\;(d)^{-0.63}\;(U)^{0.37}$이었다.

The vacuum drying characteristics of water-saturated porous media were studied experimentally. The water-saturated porous media, water-saturated sand layer, was heated by the isothermal bottom wall of the rectangular vessel. The vacuum drying rate and temperature distribution of the sand layer were measured and calculated under a variety of conditions of heated wall temperature, vacuum rate, and thickness of the test material. It was found that the drying rate due to the heat and mass teansfer is greatly influenced by the heated wall temperature, vacuum rate, and thickness of the test material.

냉동 건조에서 주기적 압력 함수의 이용은 정압에서의 건조 속도보다 더 효과적으로 나타났다. 이러한 공정의 궁극적인 목적은 건조 시간을 감소시킴으로써 에너지 비용을 줄이는데 있다. 이 연구에서 건조 시간을 감소시키기 위해 주기적 압력 함수에 대한 개념을 도입하여 건조 속도에 영향을 미치는 인자들-펄스의 형태, 압력 진폭의 크기, 중간 시간의 길이-에 대한 영향을 고려하였다. 건조 온도는 항상 $20^{\circ}C$로 일정하게 유지하였다. 그리고 펄스의 형태는 일정한 압력의 형태보다 저압에서 고압으로 압력을 변화시키는 주기를 주는 것이 더 유리함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 펄스의 진폭크기는 작을수록 그리고 중간 시간은 길수록 건조 속도가 상당히 증가되었다.
