EXPERIMENT: TRY DRYER

1) To determine the drying rate and moisture content of the sample through removal of water

RESULT
Mass of tray (4 Tray) = 1390.5 g
Mass of tray + wet sand = 2399.5 g
Mass of wet sand (initial mass of wet sand) = 1009.0 g

Mass of dry
sand (final)

Calculation

Moisture content = Mass of wet sand – Mass of dy sand (final)

Mas of dry sand (final

Drying Time = Moisture content at T1 – Moisture Content at T2

Drying Time Period
Analysis:

1. Plot Graph of Moisture Content versus Time

2. Plot Graph of Drying Rate versus Moisture Content (Drying Curve)

3. Comment on the effect of parameters by the help of these figures.
