A bioengineer working at chemical company intends to dry an insoluble wet granular material in a
pan 0.6 x 0.6 m and 3 cm deep. The material is at the same dept in the pan, whereas the sides and the
bottom can be considered to be insulated. Heat transfer is by convection from an air stream flowing
parallel to the surface at a velocity of 10 m/s. The air is at 65.6°C and has a humidity of 0.010 kg
H2O/kg dry air. Calculate the rate of drying for constant-rate period
