Analysis of water vapor flows encountered in pharmaceutical freeze-drying systems, laboratory-scale and industrial, is presented based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. The flows under continuum gas conditions are analyzed using the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations whereas

This paper is focused on the in-line monitoring of the secondary drying phase of a lyophilization process. An innovative software sensor is presented to estimate reliably the residual moisture in the product and the time required to complete secondary drying, that is, to reach the target value of th
In order to illustrate the use of CFD in providing an understanding of mixing processes, three examples, mixing in a pipe, homogenization with a static mixer and flow in a mixing vessel with a Rushton turbine, are discussed and compared with experimental results. Special attention is focussed on the
