Q1] A porous solid was dried in a pan [2 in *2 in] and 0.5 in depth. The drying from critical moisture content of 0.5kgkg dry solid to 0.15kgkg D.S required 5h. All the drying was in the falling rate period and are considered to be approximated by a straight line. The equilibrium moisture ?G content is 0.1kgkg D.S when it contact with air feed to the dryer at 75a and 400tbhr.ft2 flowrate.
It is proposed to dry the product from initial moisture content of 0.45kgkg of dry solid to 0.2kgkg of dry solid.
A. What will be the time required for drying.
B. Wet-bulb temp. of air if the humidity of air =0.02kgkg.
