Exp 5 Discussion Exp RB

Experiment B tested the effect of air velocity on drying rate by keeping air temperature constant while varying the fan speed from 1 to 2. At higher fan speed of 2, air velocity increased drastically, causing the moisture content in the solid to decrease more quickly over time due to more evaporation from the solid surface interacting with faster air. The graph showed that higher air velocity with fan at speed 2 resulted in less moisture content over time, meaning a shorter residential time was needed to evaporate moisture from the solid.

Experiment B: Effect of air velocity with constant air temperature

to drying rate
Discussion.

For experiment B, the experiment is conducted at constant temperature but


different level of fan speed. The air from the fan passed through the heater to raise
its temperature at a certain temperature as the tray drier is operated , which at the
end passed uniformly over the tray. When the speed fan changed from 1 to 2, the
velocity increased drastically. Consequently, by changing the air velocity will
affect the rate of drying and total moisture content in solid. As the total moisture in
solid decrease, the residential time will also decrease since the solid surface which
interacted with higher air velocity, evaporate more water content. Based on the
graph for experiment 2, it shows that higher air velocity which is fan at speed 2,
have less moisture content as time increases.Therefore, we can conclude that it
have less residential time as it need less time to evaporate moisture from the solid.
