PROBLEM 5(20%)
A wet sludge contains 50 percent water by weight. This sludge is first centrifuged, and 0.1 kilograms of water are removed per kilogram of wet sludge feed. The sludge is dried further using air so that the final product contains 10 percent by weight water. The air for drying is heated, passed into an oven drier, and vented back into the atmosphere. On a day when atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg, the temperature is 70F and the relative humidity is 50%, calculate the cubic meters of wet air required to dry one kilogram of sludge fed to the process. The air vented from the oven drier is at 100F and 780mmHg. It has a dew point of 94F.
