INTRODUCTION
Experimental measurements of the drying rate are usually done using the equations for
prediction. All equations used for this part are quite helpful in predicting the effect of
changing the drying process variables when limited experimental data are available.

QUESTION
An insoluble wet granular material is dried in a pan 0.457 × 0.457 m (1.5 × 1.5 ft) and 25.4 mm
deep. The material is 25.4 mm deep in the pan, and the sides and bottom can all be considered to be
insulated. Heat transfer is by convection from an air stream flowing parallel to the surface at a
velocity. The air is at 65.6°C (150°F) and has a humidity of 0.010 kg H 2O/kg dry air. Estimate the
rate of drying for the constant-rate period using SI and English units.
Solution:
For humidity, H = 0.010, dry bulb temperature of 65.6 °C, using humidity chart : wet bulb temperature, Tw = 28.9 °C (84°F)

Humid volume, vH = (2.83 x 10-3 + 4.56 x 10-3 H) T K

= (2.83 x 10-3 + 4.56 x 10-3 x 0.01)(273 + 65.6)  
The density for 1.0 kg dry air + 0.010 kg is (0.0647
= 0.974 m3/kg DA lbm/ft3)

 EFFECT OF AIR VELOCITY
• When conduction and radiation heat transfer are not present, the rate RC of drying in the constant-rate region is
proportional to h and hence to G0.8 as given by equation below for air flow parallel to the surface. The effect of
gas velocity is less important when radiation and conduction are present.

coefficient :

Equation for RC:

↑𝐺=↑ νρ
  When v is increased, G will also increase, followed by h and drying rate.
 CONCLUSION

From the calculation, by using different value of air velocity, it is proved that the higher the
velocity, the higher the total drying rate. A higher air velocity will pass a larger mass or volume
of air over the surface of the board and thus dry more water.
