The temperature of the air in a dryer is maintained constant by the use of steam coils within the dryer. The product enters the dryer at the rate of 1 metric ton per hour. The initial moisture content is 3 kilograms moisture per kilograms dry solid and will be dried to a moisture content of 0.10 kg moisture per kg solid. Air enters the dryer with a humidity ratio of 0.016 kg moisture per kg dry air and leaves with a relative humidity of 100% while the temperature remains constant at 60°C. If the total pressure of air is 101.325 Kpa, determine capacity of forced draft fan to handle this air in m3/min. A. 80 B. 84 C. 82 D. 86

The temperature of the air in a dryer is maintained constant by the use of steam coils within
the dryer. The product enters the dryer at the rate of 1 metric ton per hour. The initial moisture
content is 3 kilograms moisture per kilograms dry solid and will be dried to a moisture
content of 0.10 kg moisture per kg solid. Air enters the dryer with a humidity ratio of 0.016
kg moisture per kg dry air and leaves with a relative humidity of 100% while the temperature
remains constant at 60°C. If the total pressure of air is 101.325 Kpa, determine capacity of
forced draft fan to handle this air in m3/min.
