How to solve this?
A 5cm thin-layer, 100m2 batch dryer is used to dry paper pulp at a
constant-rate drying rate equal to Rc=300g(water)?m2(surface area)-min. If only one side of the
thin layer is in contact with the drying air, determine the throughput (kg of product/day) of
the dryer if 1.06kg of water has to be removed per kg of dry pulp to achieve the target moisture
content.
Process conditions:
Inlet moisture content 95%(wet basis)
Target moisture content 6%(wet basis)
Inlet air temperature wet bulb)
Forced draft airflow of 1.95kgm2-sec.
