Pls. Illustrate the material balance. A solid material wet with toluene is dried in an adiabatic drier to recover toluene and
to produce dry solids. The drier is fed with 100 m^3/h of an air-toluene mixture at
101.3kPa and 333K with a wet-bulb temperature of 305K.The gases leave the drier
at 310K DBT with relative saturation of 95%.The vapour pressure of toluene is given
by the Antoine equation
lnP^s=13.9987-((3096.52)/(T-53.67))
where pressure is in kPa and temperature is in K.The latent heat of vaporization is 404
kJ/kg and the psychrometric ratio for the toluene-air system is 1.88kJ/kgK.Determine
the following:
(a)The toluene evaporated in the drier, (kg/h)
(b)The volume of gases leaving the drier, (m^3/h)
 Pls. Illustrate the material balance. A solid material wet with toluene
