    A rotary drum drier with a length 2.5 times its diameter is used to dry granular polymer from 11% to 0.1% moisture. Flue gas at 88°C enters countercurrent to the solids and leaves at 25°C. The ratio of dry gas to solid velocity is 0.8. The problem asks to find the drier diameter, humidity of exiting flue gas, drier length, temperature of entering solids, and residence time.

    TEAM ACTIVITY: CONTINUOUS DRYING

    PROBLEM A Rotary Drum drier with a length that is 2.5 times its diameter is used to dry 8016 kg/h of granular polymer with particle diameter of 100m and dry velocity of 0.85 kg/m2s from 11% to 0.1% moisture and 30C. Flue gas at 88C (H=0.15) enters countercurrent to the solids and leaves at 25C. The ratio of the dry gas velocity to the dry solid velocity is 0.8. It has a slope of 0.025 ft/ft and peripheral speed of 0.2 m/s. Assume all percentages given are on dry basis. Find the: a) drier diameter b) humidity of the flue gas leaving c) drier length d) temperature of the solid entering e) residence time SOLUTION
