Air in a factory for drying apricots had dry bulb temperature of (Tdry) 25oC and wet bulb temperature of (T wet) 15oC. What are the RH, dew point, Humidity ratio, specific volume and vapour pressure values. Second we are drying 10 Kg apricots of 85% moisture in batch production ending up with 60 % moisture content using a fan that blows hot air. We measured the air characteristics and found that Tdry = 35 oC and Twet=28 oC. The fan...
