# 21 Wet material containing 220% moisture (dry basis) is to be dried at the rate of 1.

5kg / s in a
continuous dryer to give a product containing 10% (dry basis). Find the moisture removed, kg/hr

Given:

moisture1  220%
moisture2  10%
mn  1.5kg / sec
Re quired  moisture removed, kg / hr
Solution :
Solve : moisture removed, kg / hr
where :
mn  BDM  moisture1  BDM 
mn  BDM  2.2 BDM  3.2 BDM
mn 1.5kg / sec
BDM    0.4688kg / sec
3.2 3.2
BDM  1  moisture2  m4
BDM  1  0.1 m4  0.9m4
BDM 0.4688kg / sec
m4    0.5209kg / sec
0.9 0.9
mremoved  mn  m4
mremoved  1.5kg / sec  0.5209kg / sec  0.9791kg / sec x 3600sec/ hr   3524.76kg / hr
