The air having a dry ball temperature of 34˚C and a wet bulb temperature of 24˚C is initially heated in a heater so that the dry ball temperature increases to 90˚C. then the air is passed through the pile of corn kernels to dry. The air that exits the corn kernels is at a dry bulb temperature of 60 ˚C. then this air is passed to the dehumidifier to reduce the RH to 10%. Draw the course of the process of uadra change on a psychrometric diagram. The airflow rate through the corn kernels pile and dehumidifier was 4.0 m / s and the pile cross-sectional diameter was 0.5 m. a. Determine the amount of water lost from the corn kernels heap (in grams of water / second) =      (grams of water / second). b. Determine the amount of water lost from the air when passing through the dehumidifier (in grams of water / second) =      (grams of water / second)

Question

The air having a dry ball temperature of 34˚C and a wet bulb temperature of 24˚C is initially heated in a heater so that the dry ball temperature increases to 90˚C. then the air is passed through the pile of corn kernels to dry. The air that exits the corn kernels is at a dry bulb temperature of 60 ˚C. then this air is passed to the dehumidifier to reduce the RH to 10%. Draw the course of the process of uadra change on a psychrometric diagram. The airflow rate through the corn kernels pile and dehumidifier was 4.0 m / s and the pile cross-sectional diameter was 0.5 m.

a. Determine the amount of water lost from the corn kernels heap (in grams of water / second) =      (grams of water / second).


b. Determine the amount of water lost from the air when passing through the dehumidifier (in grams of water / second) =      (grams of water / second)
