Problem 1: Required

The document contains 5 problems related to drying processes. Problem 1 involves calculating the weight of water removed from copra in a dryer based on the initial and final moisture contents. Problem 2 involves calculating the amount of air required to dry a material in a dryer maintained at 60C. Problem 3 involves calculating parameters like amount of material, air flow rate, heater capacity and steam required for a dryer processing palay. Problem 4 involves calculating the mass of air required to dry cassava from 20% to 2% moisture content given a change in humidity ratio. Problem 5 involves calculating parameters like weight of wet feed, water removed, heat required and bunker oil consumption for a dryer processing sand.

PROBLEM 1

COPRA ENTERS A DRYER CONTANING 60% WATER AND 40% OF SOLIDS AND
LEAVES WITH 5% WATER AND 95% SOLIDS. FIND THE AMOUNT OF WATER
REMOVED BASED ON A kg OF FINAL PRODUCT AND A kg OF BONE-DRY-
MATERIAL.

GIVEN:

Mg2
Mg
1 Copra Dryer

REQUIRED:
THE WEIGHT OF WATER REMOVED BASED ON EACH
A) KILOGRAM OF ORIGINAL PRODUCT
B) KILOGRAM OF FINAL PRODUCT
C) KILOGRAM OF BONE-DRY MATERIAL

SOLUTION:
LET,
MBDC1= MASS OF BONE-DRY MATERIAL OF THE ORIGINAL OR WET PRODUCT
(COPRA)
MBDC2= MASS OF BONE- MATERIAL OF THE FINAL OR DRIED PRODUCT (COPRA)
MC1= MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE ORIGINAL OR WET PRODUCT
MC2= MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE FINAL OR DRIED PRODUCT
MG1= GROSS MASS OF THE ORIGINAL OR WET PRODUCT
MG2= GROSS MAS OF THE FINAL OR DRIED PRODUCT

A) CONSIDER 1 KG OF ORIGINAL OR PRODUCT OR WET FEED


SOLVING FOR THE GROSS WEIGHT OF THE FINAL PRODUC

MBD= MG (1-MC)=MG (SOLID PART)


MBD1= MBD2
MG1 (1-MC1) = MG2 (1-MC2)
MG1( 1−MC 1) 1.0(0.40)
MG2 = = = 0.421kg
(1−MC 2) 0.95
FOR THE WEIGHT OF WATER REMOVED, GW,

MV = MG1 – MG2 = 1.0- 0.421

MV = 0.579 kg ans.

B) CONSIDER 1.0 KG OF FINAL OR DRIED PRODUCTS


MBD1 = MBD2
MG1 (1-MC1) = MG2 (1=MC2)

MG 2(1−MC 2) 1(0.95)
MG1 = = = 2.375 kg
(1−MC 1) 0.40
FOR THE WEIGHT OF WATER REMOVED, MV,
MV = MG2- MG1 = 2.375 – 1
MV = 1.375 kg ans.

C) CONSIDER 1.0 kg OF THE BONE – DRY MATERIAL


MBD1 = MDB2 =1.0
SOLVING FOR MG1,
MG1 = 1/(1-MC1) = 1/0.4 = 2.5kg
SOLVING FOR MG2,
MG2= 1/(1-MC2) = 1/0.95 = 1.053 kg
FOR THE WEIGHT OF WATER REMOVED,
MV = MG2 – MG1 = 2.5 – 1.053
MV = 1.447 kg ans.
PROBLEM 2
THE TEMPERATURE OF TE AIR IN A DRYER IS MAINTAINED CONSTANT BY THE
USE OF STEAM COILS WITHIN THE DRYER. THE PRODUCT ENTERS THE DRYER AT
THE RATE OF 1 METRIC TON PER HOUR. THE INITIAL MOISTURE CONTENT IS 3.0
kg MOISTURE PER kg DR SOLID AD WILL BE DRIED TO A MOISTURE CONTENT OF
0.1 kg MOISTURE PER kg SOLID. AIR ENTERS THE DRYER WITH HUMIDITY RATIO
OF 0.016 kg/kg DA AND LEAVES WITH A RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF 100% WHILE THE
TEMPERATURE REMAINS CONSTANT AT 60C. IF THE TOTAL PRESSURE OF AIR IS
101.325 KPAA. DETERMINE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF AIR REQUIRED IN kg/hr
UNDER ENTRANCE CONDITION, AND THE CAPACITY OF FORCED DRAFT FAN TO
AHANDLE THIS AIR IN m3/min.

PROBLEM 3
A DRYER IS TO DELIVER 1000kg/hr OF PALAY WITH A FINAL MOSITURE CONTENT
OF 10%. THE INITIAL MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE FEED IS 15% AT ATMOSPHERIC
CONDITION WITH 32C DB AND 21C WB. THE DRYER IS MAINTAINED AT 45C,
WHILE THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF THE HOT HUMID AIR FROM THE DRYER IS
80%. IF THE STEAM PRESSURE SUPPLIED TO THE HEATER IS 2mpaa, DETERMINE
A)THE AMOUNT OF PALAY SUPPLIED TO THE DRYER IN kg/hr AND THE
TEMPERAURE OF THE HOT HUMID AIR FROM THE DRYER IN C; B)THE MASS FLOW
RATE OF AIR SUPPLIED TO THE DRYER, IN m3/hr; C) THE HEAT CAPACITY OF THE
HEATER IN KW; AND D)THE STEAM SUPPLIED TO THE HEATER IN kg/hr.
PROBLEM 4
A DRYER IS TO DELIVER 0.30kg/s OF CASSAVA WITH 2% MOISTURE AND 20%
MOISTURE IN THE FEED. DETERMINE THE MASS OF AIR REQUIRED IF THE
CHANGE UN HUMIDITY RATIO IS 0.0165 kg/kg DA.

GIVEN:

AIR IN AIR OUT

DRYER ORIGINAL PRODUCT


FINAL PRODUCT

REQUIRED:
THE MASS OF AIR REQUIRED IF CHANGE IN HUMIDITY RATIO IS 0.0165.

SOLUTION:
FROM THE BONE- DRY MATRIAL BALANCE,
MBD1 = MBD2
M1 (1-MC1) = M2 (1-MC2)
M1= [M2(1-MC2)]/(1-MC1) = (0.3kg/s)(1-0.02)/(1-0.20)
M1= 0.3675 kg/s

FOR THE MOISTURE REMOVED,


MV=M1-M2 = 0.3675-0.3
MV = 0.0675 kg/s

FOR THE MASS FLOW RATE OF THE AIR REQUIRED,


MA= MV/ W = 0.0675/0.0165
MA= 4.091 kg/s ans.

PROBLEM 5
A ROTARY DRYER FIRED WITH BUNKER OIL OF 10,000kcal/kg HIGHER HEATING
VALUE TO PRODUCE 20 METRIC tons/hr OF DRIED SAND WITH 0.5% MOISTURE
FROM THE WET FEED CONTAINING 7% MOISTURE, SPECIFIC HEAT OF SAND IS
0.21 btu/lb-f. TEMPERATURE OF WET SAND IS 30C AND TEMPERATURE OF DRIED
PRODUCT IS 115C.
A) CALCULATE THE WEIGHT OF THE WET FEED.
B) CALCULATE THE WEIGHT OF WATER TO BE REMOVED IN kg/hr
C) CALCULATE THE HEAT REQUIRED.
D) CALCULATE THE LITERS OF BUNKER OIL PER HOUR IF SPECIFIC
GRAVITY OF BUNKER OIL IS 0.9 AND DRYER EFFICIENCY IS 60%.
