DISSERTATIONS AND THESES IN DRYING WRITTEN IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA IN THE PERIOD 1975 - 84

Research and development of drying processes and equipmect has a long tradition in Czechoslovakia (1). There are at least 10 top reoearch centers where drying of varicus materials has been studied. Remarkable attention to drying theory and application is also paid at Czechoslovak universities which yields numerous theses dealing with various aspects of the drying process. The total of 52 M.Sc. theses oriented to drying and/or dryers had been published in the last decade. Moreover, 22 Ph.D. theses were carried out in the same period. This represents an important source of theoretical and experimental results. However all theses had been mitten in the Czech or Slovak language, and therefore their wide international application is rather limited. They are summari-zed in the following list.
