Spherical wet catalyst pellets having a diameter of 12.7 mm are being dried in a
through-circulation dryer. The pellets are in a bed of 63.5 mm thick on a screen.
The solids are being dried by air entering with a superficial velocity of 0.914 m/s
at 82.2˚C and having a humidity H = 0.01 kg H2O/kg dry air. The dry solid
density is determined as 1522 kg/m3, and void fraction in the bed is 0.35. The
initial free moisture content is 0.90 kg H2O/kg solid and the solids are to be dried
to a free moisture content of 0.45, which is above the critical free moisture
content. Calculate the time for drying in this constant-rate period.
Xc = 0,3
For gas
T1 = 82,2 ˚C
λw = 2637,45 kJ/kg
Solution :
Asumsi
1. Sistem adiabatis
2. Udara di unggun saturated
T1 = 82.2 ˚C
X = kandungan air bebas (kg H2O / kg dry solid) = 0,9 kg H2O/kg dry solid
