Question: Design a system for drying a product ( choose one from the list found in Food and Foodstuff - Specific Heat ( engineeringtoolbox website )

Design a system for drying a product (choose one from the list found in Food and Foodstuff - Specific Heat (engineeringtoolbox website)) with the following constraints and requirements
The system has to have a capacity to deliver 10,000 kg/hr of material with 5% moisture from a feed containing 300% moisture.
The dryer efficiency must not be lower than 65%.
The system must not emit toxic gasses to the atmosphere.
The system takes air from the atmosphere (measure the actual atmospheric condition in AdU on the time of computation. Show proof.)
Specify the appropriate size of fan and heater. Refer to the internet for specific brand and cost.
Try at least five different computation; create a technical and economic comparison then recommend the best option.
