Question: porous solid was dried in a pan [ 2 in * 2 in ] and 0 . 5 in depth. The drying from critical moisture

porous solid was dried in a pan [2 in *2 in] and 0.5 in depth. The drying from critical moisture content of 0.5 kg/ kg dry solid to 0.15 kg / kg D.S required Sh. All the drying was in the falling rate period and are considered to be approximated by a straight line. The equilibrium moisture content is 0.1 kg/kg D.S when it contact with air feed to the dryer at 750 and 400 lb /hr.ft flowrate.It is proposed to dry the product from initial moisture content of 0.45 kg/kg of dry solid to 0.2 kg/kg of dry solid.
