Explanation of Solution

If a dual voltage 240/480V motor is used for a part winding starting, then the low voltage setting must be used. This is because, since only one winding is connected to the power line, the high current due to high voltage supplied causes overheating of the windings.

Hence, 240V must be used for part winding starting.

۲/۱ : +0 العنوان seoni 4) 1 Mg (dry weight) of a non-porous solid is dried under constant drying conditions with an air velocity of 0.75 m/s parallel to the drying surface. The area of drying surface is 55 m2 If initial rate of drying is 0.3 g/m2 s, how long it will take to dry a material from 0.15 to 0.025 kg water/kg dry solid? The critical moisture content is 0.125 and the equilibrium moisture is negligible. The falling rate of drying is linear in moisture content. If air velocity increases to 4 m/s, what will be the anticipated saving in drying time? 0 osther
14.23. A double-effect forward-feed evaporator is required to give a product consisting of 30 per cent crystals and a mother liquor containing 40 per cent by mass of dissolved solids. Heat transfer coefficients are 2.8 and 1.7 kW/m² K in the first and second effects respectively. Dry saturated steam is supplied at 375 kN/m² and the condenser operates at 13.5 kN/ m². (a) What area of heating surface is required in each effect assuming the effects are identical, if the feed rate is 0.6 kg/s of liquor, containing 20 per cent by mass of dissolved solids, and the feed temperature is 313 K? (b) What is the pressure above the boiling liquid in the first effect? The specific heat capacity may be taken as constant at 4.18 kJ/kg K. and the effects of boiling-point rise and of hydrostatic head may be neglected. O O
5) A 100 kg batch of granular solids containing 30% moisture is to be dried in a tray drier to 15.5% by passing a current of air at 350 K tangentially across its surface at a velocity of 1.8 m/s. If the constant rate of drying under these conditions is 0.7 g/s m2 and the critical moisture content is 15%, calculate the approximate drying time. Assume the drying surface to be 0.03 m2 /kg dry mass. O
