a drum drier is being a starch-based breakfast food. the initial moisture content of food is 75% on wet basis give conservation estimate A fine granular solid to be dried at a rate of 600 kg/h from 22% to 0.2% moisture (all wet basis) in a counter-current rotary dryer using hot air at 110 C of humidity 0.012 ka/(kg dry air). The moist solid fed to the dryer is at 25 °C and the dried solid leaves at 80 °C....
Consider a pile of green wood chips at 60% moisture content (wet basis) and weighing 1 t. What is the oven-dry mass of biomass in the pile? The biomass has a heat of combustion of 16 MJ per oven-dry kg. This is the 'gross calorific value' corresponding to the heat output in a reaction of the type [CH,O]+O2 CO2(gas) +H2O(liq) The net calorific value (or 'lower heating value') is the heat evolved when the final water is gaseous; in practice...
For a soil sample, the wet unit weight is 120 lb/ft3, and the moisture content is 20%. What is the dry unit weight of this soil sample? answer choices 120 lb/ft3 110 lb/ft3 105 lb/ft3 100 lb/ft3
Wet leather enters a continuous drier at 45% moisture (wet) and leaves at a rate of 200 lbs/h with a moisture content of 25% moisture (dry). Air at 140°F and 10% RH enters the drier, and leaves the drier at 120°F and 40% RH. Assume atmospheric pressure on both inlet and outlet. Vapor pressures of water at 120°F and 140°C are 87.55 mm Hg and 149.44 mm Hg, respectively. a.) Calculate the rate (lbs/h) at which water is removed from...
Given the following two fuel samples, please calculate (show all work) the fuel moisture content of each sample and answer the following questions (Tare weight = 10.0 gm) Sample 1: Wet weight = 76.6 g, Dry weight = 70.8 g Sample 2: Wet weight = 110.5 g, Dry weight = 51.2 g. a. Which sample is the driest? b. How would you classify Sample 1 and Sample 2 (fuel type)? c. Which fuel would be easier to ignite and why?...
