2. Air enters an adiabatic drier at 6 m/s through a 2-m diameter duct at 29 C dry bulb
and 22 C wet bulb temperatures. It is heated to 80 C before reaching the material
to be dried and leaves the drier at 44 C and 80% RH. The material enters the drier
with a moisture content of 24%, and leaves with a moisture content of 8%.
Determine (a) the mass of water removed per kg of dry air, (b) the volume flow of
air entering the reheater, (c) the kg of water evaporated per second, (d) the mass
flow rate of material leaving the drier, and (e) the heat requirement of drier per kg
of water evaporated.

4. A dryer is to deliver 1000 kg/hr of palay with final moisture content in the feed is
15% at atmospheric condition with 32 C dry bulb and 21 C wet bulb. The dryer is
maintained at 45 C while the relative humidity of the hot humid air from the dryer
is 80%. If the steam pressure supplied to the heater is 2 MPa, determine the
following:
(a) Palay supplied to the dryer in kg/h.
(b) Temperature of the hot humid air from the dryer in C.
(c) Air supplied to dryer in cu m/h.
(d) Heat supplied by the heater in kW.
(e) Steam supplied to heater in kg/h.
