he air has a dry ball temperature of 30 degrees C and an initial wet bulb temperature of 20 degrees C is initially heated in a heater so that the temperature of the dry balls increases to 80 degrees C. Then the air is passed through the pile of corn kernels to dry. The air coming out of the corn kernels is at a dry bulb temperature of 55 degrees C. Then this air is passed to the dehumidifier to reduce its RH to 10%. Draw the course of this process of changing the air on a psychrometric diagram. The airflow rate through the corn kernels and dehumidifer piles was 3 m / s and the cross-sectional diameter of the piles was 0.7 m. count:

Question

The air has a dry ball temperature of 30 degrees C and an initial wet bulb temperature of 20 degrees C is initially heated in a heater so that the temperature of the dry balls increases to 80 degrees C. Then the air is passed through the pile of corn kernels to dry. The air coming out of the corn kernels is at a dry bulb temperature of 55 degrees C. Then this air is passed to the dehumidifier to reduce its RH to 10%. Draw the course of this process of changing the air on a psychrometric diagram. The airflow rate through the corn kernels and dehumidifer piles was 3 m / s and the cross-sectional diameter of the piles was 0.7 m. count:
a. determine the amount of water lost from the pile of corn kernels (in grams / second)
b. determine the amount of water lost from the air when passing through the dehumidifier (in grams / second)
