ABSTRACT
Over the past 25 years, considerable effort has been devoted to the development of various software programs applicable to the design, operation, and optimization of drying systems (Marinos-Kouris et al., 1996; Menshutina and Kudra, 2001; Kemp et al., 2004; Kemp, 2007). However, few commercial drying software products have been available on the market and well accepted by the industry. In fact, the most prominent one is proprietary and available only to the sponsors.
