6.Given a solid material containing 120% moisture on a dry basis, the 25.

, the 25. If the rate of drying under constant drying conditions with air at 140 F
equivalent moisture content on a wet basis is percent moisture is and absolute humidity of 0.03 lb water per lb dry air of unknown mass of solid
is given by R = 0.5 – e -60x lb H2O/hr-ft2, then the equilibrium moisture
content of the material is __________(d.b.)

26. The estimated mass transfer coefficient for the above drying conditions is
_______ lb H2O/hr-ft2-delta H.
29. A wet material having a critical moisture content of 15% (d.b.) and an 30. Wet solids are to be dried from 36% to 8% moisture in 5 hrs under constant
equilibrium moisture content of 3% (d.b.) took 6 hours to dry from 45% (d.b.) drying conditions. Xtc = 14%, Xe = 4%. All moisture contents are on a dry
to 10% moisture. The time it will take to dry to 15% moisture (d.b.) is ____. basis. The additional time it will take to dry from 8% to 5.5% moisture under
the same drying conditions is
31. Wet solid are to be dried from 40% to 10% in 5 hrs under constant drying 33. The rate of drying at a constant rate period is 20 lbs/hr. 400 lbs of dry
conditions. The critical moisture content is 20% and the equilibrium moisture solid containing 300 lbs water enter the drier. If the critical moisture
content is 7% All moisture contents are on a dry basis. The time needed to dry content is 0.05 (d.b.), the drying time to dry the material to 5% moisture
from 15% to %5 free moisture under the same drying conditions is (w.b.) is
34. Coffee extract containing 70% water is to be spray dried using air at 420 35. The amount of water to be removed from 2,000 kg/hr of feed to be dried
K in a 6-m diameter by 6-m high chamber with centrifugal disk atomizer. The from 110% (d.b.) to 5% (w.b.( is ____kg/hr.
capacity of the spray drier is______lb/hr feed, if the final product will have
a moisture content of 1% (w.b.). See Table 12-36, Perry, 7/e. Note: This
reference gives an evaporation rate of 3.8 kg/s
39. One thousand kilograms per hour of a material with 40% moisture content 40. What will be the volumetric flow rate (in ft3/min) of entering air
(d.b.) is dried in a belt conveyor drier with a a capacity of 50 kg of bone required to remove 10 lbs of water per hour from rayon, if the air enters at
dry solid per meter of drier. The total drying time is 5.3 hours. Estimate the 80 F and 25% humidity and leaves at 170 F and 55% RH? The operating pressure
length of the drier. is 14.3 psia.
