Definition Drying is defined as the removal of liquid from a product usually with application of heat. When a large amount of liquid is evaporated from a product with liquid consistency the process is called ‘evaporation’ . The final product is a concentrated liquid / slurry. When a very small amount of liquid is evaporated from solids the process is called ‘drying’ . The final product is a ‘dried solid’. It's a process of heat and mass transfer. Drying involves: Energy transfer from an external source to water or other liquid (Heat transfer).  Phase transformation of water/ other liquid from a liquid state to a vapour state and, Carry vapour generated away from the material under drying process and out of the dryer. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EVAPORATION AND DRYING Drying Evaporation  Drying is mainly carried out on solid materials. Evaporation is mainly carried out on liquid materials. It involves removal of small amounts of water from solids. It involves removal of large amounts of w
