Abstract
The developments in fundamental research on drying, drying technology, dryer manufacture from 1995 to 2001 in China were reviewed. The progress and current situation in drying fundamental research in China, such as heat and mass transfer in wet porous media, non-Fick and non-Fourier effects on rapid transient heat and mass transfer during drying, numerical simulations of a drying process and so on, were reviewed. The states of manufacturing of various dryers in China were investigated. Some studies on novel drying processes, such as pulse combustion drying, biomaterial drying, electro-dewatering technique etc., were also presented.
