A solid material wet with toluene is dried in an adiabatic drier to recover toluene and
to produce dry solids. The drier is fed with of an air-toluene mixture at
101.3kPa and 333K with a wet-bulb temperature of 305K. The gases leave the drier
at 310K DBT with relative saturation of 95%. The vapour pressure of toluene is given
by the Antoine equation
where pressure is in kPa and temperature is in K. The latent heat of vaporization is 404
kJkg and the psychrometric ratio for the toluene-air system is 1.88kJkgK. Determine
the following:
(a) The toluene evaporated in the drier, (kgh)
(b) The volume of gases leaving the drier, (m3h)
 A solid material wet with toluene is dried in an adiabatic
