Tutorial Drying

Using the given drying conditions and material properties: 1. The time to dry the batch from 0.45 to 0.30 moisture content with a thickness of 50.8 mm exposing the top and bottom surfaces is calculated to be X hours. 2. For the granular material in the pan: (a) The drying rate is predicted to be Y kg H2O/h.m2 and the time needed is Z hours. (b) Increasing the depth to 44.5 mm, the time needed is estimated to be W hours. 3. For the wet filter cake in the pan, the time to dry from 0.20 to 0.09 lb H2O/lb dry

Tutorial Drying Part 2

1. A batch of wet solid was dried on a tray dryer using constant drying conditions and a
thickness of material on the tray of 25.4 mm. Only the top surface was exposed. The
drying rate during the constant-rate period was R = 2.05 kg H2O/h.m2. The ratio Ls/A
used was 24.4 kg dry solid/m2 exposed surface. Calculate the time to dry a batch of this
material from X1 = 0.45 to X2 = 0.30 using the same drying conditions but a thickness
of 50.8 mm, with drying from the top and bottom surfaces.
2. A granular insoluble solid material wet with water is being dried in the constant-rate
period in a pan of 0.61 m × 0.61 m and the depth of material is 25.4 mm. The sides and
bottom are insulated. Air flows parallel to the top drying surface at a velocity of 3.05
m/s and has a dry bulb temperature of 60°C and adiabatic wet bulb temperature of
29.4°C. the pan contains 11.34 kg of dry solid having a free moisture content of 0.35
kg H2O/kg dry solid, and the material is to be dried in the constant-rate period to 0.22
kg H2O/kg dry solid.
a. Predict the drying rate and the time in hours needed.
b. Predict the time needed if the depth of material is increased to 44.5 mm
3. A wet filter cake in a pan 1 ft × 1 ft square and 1 in. thick is dried on the top surface
with air at a wet bulb temperature of 80°F and a dry bulb temperature of 120°F flowing
parallel to the surface at a velocity of 2.5 ft/s. The dry density of the cake is 120 lbm/ft3
and the critical free moisture content is 0.09 lb H2O/lb dry material to the critical
moisture content. How long will it take to dry the material from a free moisture content
of 0.20 lb H2O/lb dr material to the critical moisture content?
