Title
Spray dried product design -- an overview of modeling from micro to macro
Spray drying is used for the manufacture of many products including ceramics foods and detergents. Historically these processes and product properties have been optimized empirically. As engineers we would like to be able to predictably design spray dried products to engineer the required product properties to do this we require a set of models capable of capturing formulation - process -- structure - property relationships. Spray drying is an incredibly complex process and we are still along way from the required set of multiple multi-scale models. In this talk we will look at the models required from micro to macro scale and the latest developments in these. This will be done in the context of granular detergent manufacture When models don't exist we will look at the physical mechanisms involved and where the challenges are in modeling these. In addition the speaker will also give an introduction to Modelling and Simulation of Consumer goods and their processes at P&G. All are welcome
