A desiccant is being used to remove water vapor from a stream of air with 90% RH at 50°C. The desiccant is a flat plate with 10.4 and maintains a water activi of 0.04 at the surface exposed to the ai...
1.) A smooth glass plate is in a uniform free-stream where air flows over both sides of the plate. The plate is exposed to a constant surface heat flux. What air velocity must be used to remove 850 W from the 1-m square plate? The plate surface is maintained at 65 C and the air stream is at 1 atm and 20° C Suppose the plate also radiates like a black surface to the surroundings at 20° C. What flow...
