V Calculation. Drying (20 points) A continuous countercurrent dryer is being used to dry 500 kg dry solidh containing 0.04 kg total moisture/kg dry solid to a value of 0.002 kg total moisture /kg dry solid. The granular solid enters at 26.7C and is to be discharged at 62.8C. The dry solid has a heat capacity of 1.465 kJ/(kg-K), which is assumed constant. Heating air enters at 93.3C, having a humidity of 0.010 kg water/kg dry air, and is to leave at 37.8C. The heat capacity of liquid moisture is 4.187 kJ/(kg water-K). The latent heat of water at 0C is 2501 kJ/kg. Please calculate the air flow rate and the outlet humidity of air, with the assumption of no heat losses and no heat added in the dryer
