Even though we live on large planet, with large physical dimension (a Volume of 1.0832073_1012 km_ and a  Mass of 5.9736_1024 kg); technologies such as the Internet, Information Sciences, World Wide Web, rapid digital communications ,easily accessible databases and search engines have made it a very small world. It now possible to instantly communicate with persons all over the world and to obtain technical information from most countries, businesses and Universities.

Ongoing technical projects are needed to improve the quality, cost & productivity of a coating line in order to remain competitive and rapidly develop new products. There are several important considerations when developing and identifying coater needs and deciding on the most effective programs too work on. These are:

Success in all endeavors starts with an understanding of the basic skills that are needed for the endeavor and the ability to successfully implement these basics.1 One of the better examples of this was the Green Bay Packers Power Sweep, which was developed by Vine Lombardi I the 60’s. This play would gain on average 4 yards per carry and worked almost 100 % of the time. It was the key to Green Bay’s winning record  in the 60s.  The success for this play was the lineman’s basic ability to rapidly pull from the line, effectively block and create the path for the runner. There was no deception of elaborate schemes, it just required implementing the basics.  Interestingly no other team was able to duplicate the power sweep, because the lineman could not implement the basics.

Controlling the drying or evaporation rate inside a forced air, convection-style dryer can be accomplished using several different approaches. Before examining specific methodologies, let’s briefly review how convection drying works and what variables define this heat and mass transfer based process.
