Wet material, containing 215% moisture (dry basis) is to be dried at the rate of 1.5 kg/sec in a continuous dryer to give a product containing 5% moisture (wet basis). The drying medium consists of air heated to 373°K and containing water vapor equivalent to a partial pressure of 1.40 Kpa. The air leaves the dryer at 310°CK and 70% saturated. Calculate how much air will be required to remove the moisture. A. 213,233 kg/hr B. 177,142 kg/hr C. 177,242 kg/hr D. 198,234 kg/hr Solve and arrive the exact given one of these choice. Elaborate the process and make the schematic diagram. Thanks!
