Question: Moisture content of the continuous dryer solid feed is 3 7 % ( dry base ) . Desired moisture content at the end of the

Moisture content of the continuous dryer solid feed is 37%(dry base). Desired moisture content at the end of the drying process is 2%(dry base). Air which is at 290K and 30% relative humidity is sent heater before entering the dryer. Air leaves the heater at 355K. Solid product rate is 0.135kgs. Air leaves the dryer at 55% relative humidity. Based on the given information Find:
, The flowrate of air to the preheater (15 points)
Amount of heat added to the air in the preheater (10 points)
Assume humid heat as 1.02KJkg**(K) and dryer operates adiabatically.
 Moisture content of the continuous dryer solid feed is 37%(dry base).
