- While droplet drying is key to many pharmaceutical applications, understanding and controlling the underlying physical processes remain important challenges. This paper is significant because it demonstrates a new mathematical model for the prediction of droplet drying, and its application to the drying of a spray consisting of chitosan dissolved in water. This new model correctly predicts the size of the residual solid powders when compared to those measured experimentally. This research is a key outcome of EPSRC projects EP/R012024/1 and EP/M002608/1.
