Chapter 5, Problem 5.23P
Spray drying is a process in which a liquid containing dissolved or suspended solids is injected into a chamber through a spray nozzle or centrifugal disk atomizer. The resulting mist is contacted with hot air, which evaporates most or all of the liquid, leaving the dried solids to fall to a conveyor belt at the bottom of the chamber.
Powdered milk is produced in a spray dryer 6 m in diameter by 6 m high. Air enters at 167°C and −40 cm H2O. The milk fed to the atomizer contains 70% water by mass, all of which evaporates. The outlet gas contains 12 mole% water and leaves the chamber at 83°C and 1 atm (absolute) at a rate of 311 m3/min.
(a) Calculate the production rate of dried milk and the volumetric ?ow rate of the inlet air. Estimate the upward velocity of air (m/s) at the bottom of the dryer.
(b) Engineers often face the challenge of what to do to a process when demand fora product increases (or decreases). Suppose in the present case production must be doubled. (i) Why is it unlikely that the ?ow rates of feed and air can simply be increased to achieve the new production rate? (ii) An obvious option is to buy another dryer like the existing one and operate the two in parallel. Give two advantages and two disadvantages of this option. (m) Still another possibility is to buy a larger dryer to replace the original unit. Give two advantages and two disadvantages of doing so. Estimate the approximate dimensions of the larger unit.

#5 The irreversible liquid phase second order reaction, 2A → B, is carried out in a CSTR. The
entering concentration of A, CAD is 2 mol/L, and the exit concentration of A, CA is 0.1 mol/L. The
volumetric flow rate, vo, is at 3 L/s and is constant (v=vo). The reaction rate constant, k is 0.03
L/mol's. What is the corresponding reactor volume?
Problem 9.11 An 80 mm long line MN has its end M 15 mm in front of the V.P. The distance between
the ends projector is 50 mm. The front view is parallel to and 20 mm above reference line. Draw the
projections of the line and determine its inclination with the V.P. Also, locate the traces.
Interpretation Front view of a line is parallel to xy, therefore,
1. The line is parallel to the H.P.
2. The top view of the line has true length.
3. The front view has projected length equal to the distance be-
tween the projectors.
Construction
Refer to Fig. 9.11.
1. Draw a reference line xy. Mark point m' 20 mm above xy and
point m 15 mm below xy.
2. Draw a 50 mm long line m'n' parallel to xy.
3. Draw an arc with centre m and radius 80 mm to meet projec-
tor from point n' at point n. Join mn to represent the top view.

with the V.P. Here = 51°.
