Exhaust gas recirculation drying

I. Introduction
Drying is moisture separation process out of moist material by supply temperature for
material [1]. One popular method for isolate solvent out of material moisture is drying
by drying agent (such as: hot air; superheated steam…)
Drying has wide applications in industry, food technology…
 Drying reduces transportation costs compared to transport wet material
 Drying preserve food; chemical substance,…
The revolution about moisture content of materials over time is represented by drying
curve. It includes different stage of drying.
 Material heating stage
 Isospeed stage [1]
The curve representing the change in moisture content of the dried object over drying
time is called the drying curve: w = f(t). It is shown in figure 1a.

Figure 1a. The theoretical drying curve

The relationship between drying speed and moisture content of materials is expressed
by drying rate curve [2] that obtained by derivatived the drying curve over-time:
dw/dt = f(w). Figure 1b illustrates one type of drying rate curve.

 This experiment research on exhaust gas recirculation drying.
 Purpose:
 Get acquainted with and understand how to operate the hot air system exhaust
gas circulation drying
 To determine the relationship between the moisture content of material and
drying time (drying curve)
 To determine the relationship between drying speed and material moisture
(drying rate curve)
 To calculate the drying time according to the formula and compare with the
actual drying time[2]
 Hypothesis:
 When the temperature increases, the drying speed also increases and
the drying time increases
 The actual drying time are similar to the theoretical drying time
II. Methodology
 the materials has been soaked:
 no stirring
 no loss

 The experimental process was observed and checked according to the diagram
 Pour water into the hygrometer and prepare measuring tools: chronometer, thermometer,
hygrometer.
 The fan was turned and close the circuit breaker to increase the heat for the caloriphe.
 Before the material was added, wait until the drying air temperature (drying agent) was
stable and readings on the scales
 After five minutes (from the time the material was added), the raw data was read and
recorded on the scale once. This process was repeated many times until the number on the
scale remains unchanged for 3 measurements, then the experience was stopped.
 the circuit breaker and the fan were turned off, the material is taken out the tray and
observed (be careful not to lose materials).
 The obtained data was recorded in the "experiment diary" and reported to the instructor.
Clear up the laboratory area before leaving. (note: must turn off caloriphe's circuit breaker
first, then turn off the fan for a while).[2]

The initial moisture of the materials: Wđ = 27,16%

The balance moisture of the materials: Wcb = 1,49%
The final moisture of the materials: Wc = 2,39%
The theoretical drying time: τlt = 90 minutes
The actual drying time: τtt = 74 minutes

IV. Discussion
 The actual drying time is less than the theoretical drying time
 When the temperature increases, the theoretical drying time increases while the
experimental drying time decreases.
 From Figure 2a:
AB demonstrates the stages of material combustion
 BC represents the isospeed stage
CD represents the deceleration stage
 The results of theoretical drying speed and experimental drying speed have large
differences.
V. Conclusion
 The data obtained is used to build diagrams consistent with theory.
 The relationship between drying speed and moisture content of material is
expressed by drying rate curve.
 The results of theoretical drying speed and experimental drying speed have large
differences.The reason is that the theoretical drying process considers the heat
added during the drying process to be equal to the heat lost during the drying
process. During the experimental drying process, the added heat is different from
the lost heat. In addition, compared to experiment, the heating stage is skipped
because it is too small, so the amount of heat compared to theory is different.
 Determination of drying time of the moist materials
 by exhaust gas recirculation drying method
