Drying 8 1 Mg of dry mass of a non-porous solid is dried under constant drying conditions in an air stream flowing at 0.75 m/s. The area of surface drying is 55 m2. If the initial rate of drying is 0.3 g/m2s, how long will it take to dry the material from 0.15 to 0.025 kg water/kg dry solid? The critical moisture content of the material may be taken as 0.125 kg water/kg dry solid. If the air velocity were increased to 4.0 m/s, what would be the anticipated saving in time if the process were surface-evaporation controlled?
