Commemorative Note

It is a great pleasure and personal honor for me to commemorate the lifetime scientific achievements of Professor Stanislav Pavlovich Rudobashta on the occasion of His 75 birthday.
Although I was familiar for long time with publications of Professor S.P. Rudobashta, I meet him personally in 1997 during PhD and Doctoral examinations in Tambov State Technical University. Then, we had quite a few opportunities for professional discussions during international conferences including CЭTT in Moscow (2002 and 2005), IDS 2010 in Magdeburg (2010), 4th International Heat and Mass Transfer Forum in Minsk (2000), Industrial Heat Engineering in Kiev (1999 and 2001), as well as several research-oriented trips to Moscow. Therefore, I feel confident to provide this commemorative note in order to highlight certain aspects of Prof. Rudobashta scientific profile from my personal perspective.
It is my privilege to attest that Professor Stanislav Pavlovich Rudobashta is World-Class scientists whose achievements are known and appreciated not only in Russia but also in other countries. Because only several papers he published in English (e.g., Drying Technology 1998, Vol. 16, No 3; Proceedings of CHISA, International Drying Symposium or Nordic Drying Conference), I was frequently asked to translate some of his papers published in Russian and large fractions from his book entitled Diffusion in Chemical-Technological Processes (extensively reviewed by me in Drying Technology 1997, 17 (3): 643-646), being of great interest to my colleagues from McGill and other Canadian Universities.
Fortunately, the most significant scientific accomplishments of Professor Rudobashta are made available worldwide because papers in Russian published in the bi-monthly journal Promyshlennaya Teplotekhnika are translated into English and published in Industrial Heat Engineering by Begell House, Inc. New York, USA. Also, papers published in Teoreticheskie Osnovy Khimicheskoi Tekhnologii are translated into English and published in Theoretical Foundations of Chemical Engineering (Springer, NY, USA) whereas publications in Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal are available in English through the Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics (Springer, NY, USA). Examples are: "Kinetics and Apparatus-Technological Arrangement of Convective Drying of Disperse Polymer" by S.P. Rudobashta and V.M. Dmitriev (Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics 2005, 78 (3): 463-473), "Heat and Mass Transfer in Drying in an Oscillating Electromagnetic Field" by S.P. Rudobashta, E.M. Kartashov, and N.A. Zuev (Theoretical Foundations of Chemical Engineering 2011, 45 (6): 830-837); and "Impulse Infrared Drying of Rare Vegetable Seeds" by S.P. Rudobashta and I.V. Grigorev (Industrial Heat Engineering 2011, 33 (8): 85-90).
It is obvious that over his professional carrier as scientist and university teacher Professor S.P. Rudobashta has received various awards at both National and Academic levels. However, the most prestigious and highly appreciated appears to be the Luikov Award, granted by Belarusian Academy of Sciences. Professor Aleksey Vassillevich Luikov (also transliterated as Lykov), was a renowned Russian scientist pioneering research in the field of thermophysics, and heat and mass transfer. He developed the theory of simultaneous heat and mass transfer based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which lead to the set of coupled equations describing mass transfer in wet capillary-porous-colloidal systems through gradients of the moisture content and temperature. His approach to drying theory was then followed by other scientist worldwide.
To commemorate Professor Luikov, the Heat and Mass Transfer Institute of National Academy of Sciences of Belarus is awarding scientists working on various aspects of heat and mass transfer phenomena. Such award is presented as both the diploma and medal at Minsk International Heat and Mass Transfer Forum organized since 1998 every 4 years by A.V. Luikov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute in Minsk, Belarus.
In 2012, the International Award Committee acknowledged the life-time research on “Energy and Resource Saving Drying Technologies: Theory and Practice”, and granted the collective award to Prof. Stanislav P. Rudobashta from National Agricultural University in Moscow (Russia), Prof. Yurii Snezkin from Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kiev (Ukraine), and Prof. Tadeusz Kudra from CanmetENERGY of Natural Resources Canada (Quebec, Canada).
Here, the Award Committee acknowledged not only the contribution of Prof. Rudobashta to the theory and technology of drying dispersed (granular) materials covering experiments, modeling as well as process and equipment design using convective and infrared heating but also research towards membrane distillation and electrically-assisted extraction of cellular components from raw vegetables. On top of these achievements, the Committee appreciated Prof. Rudobashta books including Diffusion in Chemical-Technological Processes (Khimia,1993; 2nd revised and enhanced edition in 2010) and Mass Transfer in System with Solid Phase (Khimia, 1980).

Dear Professor Rudobashta:
Please accept my hearty wishing of a long and happy live as well as maintaining high performance in your scientific activity.

Sincerely,
Tadeusz Kudra

Dedidicated to the75th anniversary of Prof. Rudobashta Stanislav Pavlovich
Dr.-Ing. Dietrich Gehrmann, Leverkusen, Germany
For the first time I met Stanislav Pavlovich in 1973, when I started my scientific work at the Darmstadt (Germany) Institute “Thermal process and heating engineering”. Prof. Dr. Werner Kast was head of the Institute which was founded by the famous Prof. Dr. Otto Krischer, author of the fundamental textbooks “Die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen der Trocknungstechnik” 3). Stanislav Pavlovich worked as one of a couple of guest scientists at Darmstadt University for one year in our Institute. The opportunity for this cooperation between scientists of Germany and the former “Soviet Union” was provided by the new german government (Chancellor Willy Brandt) as a part of the initiative “Wandel durch Annäherung” and the policy of détente. Stanislav Pavlovitch was already a senior scientist with a lot of experience in heat and mass transfer processes. He started some experiments and theoretical studies on adsorption processes which was a core area of our research at this time. I got in intensive contact with him when I started my first measurements on adsorption isotherms of gelatin. For the exploration of the drying behavior of gels (my PHD-thesis)1),2) I needed of course the equilibrium data and the sorption kinetics of this class of material but there was no measurement apparatus available for this purpose at that time. We knew from the existence of expensive apparatus used in the industry but due to restricted budget of the institute we needed a cheaper instrument. Stanislav Pavlovich proposed to use a flexible quartz spring and we started to explore the possibility of acquisition of such a sensible device. We found a well known provider of such exotic instruments at Heraeus at Hanau nearby Darmstadt. During wintertime we drove both with my old VW - Beatle to Hanau for picking up the quartz springs and got at the return into a blizzard. So we had an unforgettable adventure during our trip on glaze ice with very bad visibility but our precious tools with us! Afterwards I built up a vacuum sorption apparatus (Picture 1) which worked several years very reliably. During his stay in Darmstadt Stanislav Pavlovich has also private contact to me and my colleagues and we had very interesting discussions about our different lives in Germany and SU. After his return to Tambov we had no further contacts for a long time. After the end of cold war and foundation of the Russian Federation I discovered in the early 1990 years scientific contributions at international conferences from Prof. Rudobashta et al. and I noticed that his new working place was Moscow. Some years later I got invitations from him for attending scientific conferences in Moscow but I couldn´t participate due to my employment at Bayer AG Leverkusen. After my retirement in 2004 I got a new invitation from him and now I had the opportunity to visit and to see him again. Finally in 2008 - together with my wife and colleagues from Magdeburg University - I enjoyed to see Stanislav Pavlovich again. We had a cordial and hearty reunion after such a long time (Picture 2) and we all together had a very interesting meeting at the 3.rd International Scientific-Technical Conference “Energy-Saving Technologies for Drying and Hygrothermal Processing” (DHTP-2008). We also used the time for sightseeing of the impressive Metropolis Moscow and diverse places of high attractiveness too. It was a great event for all of us.

2010 we had again the opportunity to attend a common meeting at the “International Drying Symposium” at Magdeburg (Picture 3). We all enjoyed the fantastic world meeting of drying specialists and the opportunity to show him the german center of drying technology and the historic sites of Magdeburg. I wish Stanislav Pavlovich all the best for the future.
