Sample homework solution format

4. It is desired to dry 10 kg/min of soap continuously from 20% moisture by weight to 4%

moisture in a countercurrent stream of hot air. The air enters the dryer at the rate of 30.0 m3/min
at 350 K, 101.3 kPa, and an initial water partial pressure of 2 kPa. The dryer operates at constant
temperature and pressure.
(a) Calculate the moisture content of the entering air, in kg of water/kg of dry air.

Problem 1: Correct, Code =4313336481

Solution

30 m3/min
350 K 350 K
101.3 kPa total P 101.3 kPa total P
Pw = 2 kPa

Water

10 kg/min total (soap&water)

8 kg/min soap 20 w% Water
4 w% water

(a) Calculate the moisture content of the entering air, in kg of water/kg of dry air
 Moles of water Molecular weight of water Mass of water
Yin = =
Moles of dry air Molecular weight of dry air Mass of dry air

2 18
Yin = = 0.0125 kg W/kg dry air
101.3  2 29

Moisture content of the entering air = 0.0125 kg W/kg dry air
