ENHANCEMENT of PRODUCT QUALITY IN DRYING PROCESSES

Lines connect the coordinator with its partners.

Project objective

The training content will be built on the following five elements: processes. The product quality depends on a complex interaction of Visiting of post-doc researchers Exchange of permanent staff Meetings at different laboratories Seminars and workshop E.F.Ch.E. Working Party on external, interfacial and internal phenomena, especially important is the evolution of moisture, temperature and stress profiles in the materials. Drying The chosen approach is the experimental determination of moisture profiles The main part in the training content will be the reception of post-doc in small dimension materials based on magnetic resonance imaging methods. researchers from European laboratories in the Community, the total length of exchange of visiting researchers during the lifetime of the network is The internal stress and strain relationships will be mathematically modelled from experimental shrinkage determinations where image analyses 276 months. and electronic microscopy will play an important role. All participating laboratories will work on materials of industrial significance; rice, fruits and vegetables, clay, polymer films, chemical products and paper. In this way the strength and weakness of the chosen procedures in different applications will be clearly demonstrated.
