24.3. A slab with a wet weight of 5 kg originally contains 50 percent moisture (wet basis). The slab is 600 by 900 by 75 mm thick. The equilibrium-moisture content is 5 percent of the total weight when in contact with air of 20°C and 20 percent humidity. The drying rate is given in Table 24.1 for contact with air of the above quality at a definite velocity. Drying is from one face. How long will it take to dry the slab to 15 percent moisture content (wet basis)?

A continuous countercurrent dryer is to be designed to dry 800 lb of wet porous solid per hour from 140 percent moisture to 20 percent, both on the dry basis. Air at 120°F dry bulb and 70°F wet bulb is to be used. The exit humidity is to be 0.012. The average equilibrium-moisture content is 5 percent of the dry weight. The total moisture content (dry basis) at the critical point is 40 percent. The stock may be assumed to remain at a temperature 3°F above that of the wet-bulb temperature of the air throughout the dryer. The heat-transfer coefficient is 12 Btu/ft?-h-°F. The area exposed to the air is 1.1 ft? per pound of dry solids. How long must the solids remain in the dryer?
