Question 3: A tilter cake 610mm2 and 51mm thick, supported on a screen, is ciried irom hoth sides with air at a wet bulb temperature of 26.7C and a dry bulb temperature of 48.9@1C. The air flows parallel with the faces of the cake at a velocity of 1.07ms and temperature of 351K with a pressure of I atm. The dry density of the cake is 1922kgm3. The equilibrium moisture content is negligible. Under the condition of drying the critical moisture content is 9 percent, dry basis. Calculate 1) what is the drying rate during constant rate period? 2) How long would it take to dry this material from an initial moisture content of 20 percent (dry basis) to a linal moisture content of 10 pereent? The heat transfer coefficient is given by hGj=0.0204Ci10, where G is the mass velocity of the air. Heat of vaporization of water at given condition is 2397kJkg.
