The air has a dry ball temperature of 34 °C and an initial wet bulb temperature of 24 °C is initially heated in a heater so that the temperature of the dry balls increases to 80 °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 °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 4.0 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)

The airflow rate through the corn kernels and dehumidifer piles was 4.0 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)
