Precipitated protein is centrifuged to a total moisture content of 28 wt%. It is then dried in a batch drier for 6 hours under constant drying conditions to 16 wt% (total moisture). The critical moisture content for the solids is 11 wt% (total moisture). The equilibrium moisture content is 4 kg H2O/100 kg dry solid. How long would it take to dry a sample of the same size from a free moisture content of 25 wt% to 4 wt% under the same drying conditions? All given moisture contents are in dry basis. Assume that the drying rate (in the falling rate period) is a linear function through the origin.

Question
Precipitated protein is centrifuged to a total moisture content of 28 wt%. It is then dried in a batch drier for 6 hours under constant drying conditions to 16 wt% (total moisture). The critical moisture content for the solids is 11 wt% (total moisture). The equilibrium moisture content is 4 kg H2O/100 kg dry solid. How long would it take to dry a sample of the same size from a free moisture content of 25 wt% to 4 wt% under the same drying conditions? All given moisture contents are in dry basis. Assume that the drying rate (in the
falling rate period) is a linear function through the origin.
