Question: 1 . 5 - 8 . Recycle in a Dryer. A solid material containing 1 5 . 0 w t % moisture is dried so

1.5-8. Recycle in a Dryer. A solid material containing 15.0wt% moisture is dried so that it contains 7.0wt% water by blowing fresh warm air mixed with recycled air over the solid in the dryer. The inlet fresh air has a humidity of 0.01kg water ?kg dry air, the air from the drier that is recycled has a humidity of 0.1kg water ?kg dry air, and the mixed air to the dryer, 0.03kg water ?kg dry air. For a feed of 100kg solid ?h fed to the dryer, calculate the kg dry air ?h in the fresh air, the kg dry air/h in the recycled air, and the kgh of "dried" product.
Ans. 95.6kgh dry air in fresh air, 27.3kgh dry air in recycled air, and 91.4kgh "dried" product
