A tunnel drier is used to dry an organic paint pigment. 1000 Ibs/hr of pigment containing 10% water is to be dried up to 0.50% water. The pigment is passed counter current to air which enters at 760 mmHg, 140°F and 10% humidity. The leaving air is at 750 mmHg, 96°F and 70% humidity. What flowrate of air must be maintained? Note: entering air @ 760 mmHg and 170 F, H 0.012 lbs H2O/ lbs dry air leaving air at 750 mmHg. 95°F, H = 0.026 lbs H:O / Ibs dry air

ACTIVITY 8:
1. A tunnel drier is used to dry an organic paint pigment. 1000 lbs/hr of pigment containing
10% water is to be dried up to 0.50% water. The pigment is passed counter current to air
which enters at 760 mmHg. 140 F and 10% humidity. The leaving air is at 750 mmHg. 96°F
and 70% humidity, What flowrate of air must be maintained?
Note: entering air @ 760 mmHg and 170 F, H 0.012 lbs H:O/lbs dry air
leaving air at 750 mmHg. 95°F, H = 0.026 Ibs H:O / Ibs dry air
