Question
Nitrocellulose fibers with an initial total water content of 40 wt% (dry basis) are dried in trays in a tunnel dryer operating at 1 atm. If the fibers are brought to equilibrium with air at 25oC and a relative humidity of 30%, determine the kg of moisture evaporated per kg of bone-dry fibers. The equilibrium-moisture content of the fibers is in Figure.
