Question: A wet solid is dried with air at 7 0 deg C and using a humid air. The humid air is pre - processed

A wet solid is dried with air at 70\deg C and using a humid air. The humid air is pre-processed in a pre-conditioner where the humid at 20% saturation at 70\deg C is brought to 10% saturation isothermally. The preconditioned air flows parallel to the flat, wet surface of the solid at a velocity (v) of 100 cm/s. Under these conditions the heat transfer coefficient is given by h =14.3(p), where p is the density of moist air in kg moist air per unit volume moist air. The surface area available for heat exchange with air is 1 m and the heat of evaporation of the water is 2.4510% J/kg.(a) Calculate the total amount of water removed in the pre-conditioner (15 marks)(b) Calculate the amount water evaporating in the dryer
