Ipil-ipil leaves will be dried in a moving train of tray dryers. The wet leaves containing 75% water and is to be dried to 15% in trays measuring 1m x 1.5m. The wet leaves are spread out in the tray to a uniform thickness of 8cm and the wet leaves have a specific gravity of 0.75. Calculate the following: a) The amount of water removed (in terms of MT)/ MT of product. b) The number of trays needed to produce 1 MT of dried leaves.
