Analysis of Evaporative Drying of Thin Ink Films Using High-Velocity Hot-Air Impinging Jets: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Hot impinging air jets are usually used to increase heat and mass transfer. The dehydration of materials is a procedure of common significance in the chemical processes, forensic science and food industries; in the fabrication of paper, plastics and textiles as well. Effective drying of thin ink films is becoming progressively significant in the quickly development printing, packaging and coating industries. In order to minimize capital and operating cost, variables need to be optimized. For both researchers and commercial dryers, an optimization of the nozzles under striking air jets is offered for ink drying. To supply information to industrial users, a comprehensive literature review was presented to the research. An outline of the previous work of impinging air jets is also given.

Heat Transfer Augmentation through Different Jet Impingement Techniques: A State-of-the-Art Review

“…The jet impingement application in solar systems was presented by Matheswaran et al [9] and Awad et al [10], and the aerospace technology application of impinging jets was investigated by Lim et al [11] and Huang et al [12]. The cooling of hot metals, plastics sheets, the drying of paper, fabric using jet impingement was studied by Chen et al [13], Alkhudhiri et al [14], Turkan et al [15], and Wae-hayee et al [16]. Heat transfer through jet impingement has been the focus of numerous experimental and numerical studies in the past.…”
