At the end of a manufacturing process a granular solid material is coated with liquid acetone. The composition of this solid/liquid mixture is 82.0%ww solid and 18.0%ww acetone. The solid/liquid mixture passes through a dryer in which completely dry air is used to vaporize some of the acetone. The dry air enters the dryer at a flow rate of 1.70m3min at a temperature of 23.2C. The air leaves the dryer saturated with acetone vapour at a temperature of 25.4C.
Calculate the composition of the solid/liquid acetone mixture leaving the dryer as stream (2). Also, calculate the volumetric flow rate of the air/acetone mixture leaving the dryer as stream (4).
A psychrometric chart for the acetone-air system is supplied. In answering this question please read the chart as accurately as possible.
