Monthly Test No-02 Sub: Mass Transfer-II Date: 04/09/2022, Monday Time: 10:30AM -11:30 AM
5th Semester , Full Mark-20 FACULTY- YK Mohanta

Qn Question Mark
1 Define bound moisture content. 2
2 Define drying. 2
3 Define Dry Bulb temperature and wet bulb temperature. 2
4 Name two methods by which moisture content is expressed. Derive their relations 2
5 Why drying is important in process industries. 2
6 A 100kg batch of granular solids containing 30% moisture is to be dried in a tray dryer to 5
16% moisture by passing a current of air at 350K across its surface at a velocity of
1.8m/s. If the constant rate of drying under these conditions is 0.7 × 10-3 kg/m2 .s and
the critical moisture content is 15%, calculate the drying time.
7 Explain what is a cooling tower and its types. What are Approach and range of a cooling 5
tower ?
