Question 47
CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
In a batch drying experiment, a solid with a critical moisture content of 0.2 kg H
O/kg dry solid is dried from an initial moisture content of 0.35 kg H
O/kg dry solid to a final moisture content of 0.1 kg H
O/kg dry solid in 5 h. In the constant rate regime, the rate of drying is 2 kg H
O/(m
·h).The entire falling rate regime is assumed to be uniformly linear. The equilibrium moisture content is assumed to be zero.
The mass of the dry solid per unit area is ________ kg/m
