DRYERS AND DRYING
1. Tobacco in a warehouse, held at 30 C and 40% relative humidity, is placed in a
room at 32 C and 70% relative humidity preparatory to being worked on. For each
50 kg of tobacco moved from the warehouse, what is the bone-dry weight? What
is the actual weight of this quantity of tobacco after staying in the working room?
Solution:
m1 = 50 kg
For tobacco at 40% RH
Regain1 = 13.30%
at 70% RH
Regain2 = 25.00%
m1 − Bdw
Regain1
0.1330 Bdw = 50 − Bdw
Bdw = 44.13 kg
(a) Bdw =
(b) m2 = actual weight
m2 = (Regain2 )(Bdw) + Bdw = (0.25)(44.13) + 44.13 = 55.16 kg
2. Air enters an adiabatic drier at 6 m/s through a 2-m diameter duct at 29 C dry bulb
and 22 C wet bulb temperatures. It is heated to 80 C before reaching the material
to be dried and leaves the drier at 44 C and 80% RH. The material enters the drier
with a moisture content of 24%, and leaves with a moisture content of 8%.
Determine (a) the mass of water removed per kg of dry air, (b) the volume flow of
air entering the reheater, (c) the kg of water evaporated per second, (d) the mass
flow rate of material leaving the drier, and (e) the heat requirement of drier per kg
of water evaporated.

3. A drier is to be designed to reduce the water content of a certain material from
55% to 10%. Air at 29 C dry bulb temperature and with a humidity ratio of 0.005
kg/kg is heated to 50 C in a reheater before entering the drier. The air leaves the
drier at 38 C with 70% relative humidity. On the basis of 1000 kg of product per
hour, calculate (a) the volume flow rate of air entering the reheater, and (b) the
heat supplied in the reheater.

15% at atmospheric condition with 32 C dry bulb and 21 C wet bulb. The dryer is
maintained at 45 C while the relative humidity of the hot humid air from the dryer
is 80%. If the steam pressure supplied to the heater is 2 MPa, determine the
following:
(a) Palay supplied to the dryer in kg/h.
