200 kg of solids (on dry basis) is subjected to a drying process for a period of 5000 seconds. The drying occurs in the constant rate period with the drying rate as, Nc = 0.5 × 10-3 kg/m2.s. The initial moisture content of the solid is 0.2 kg moisture/kg dry solid. The interfacial area available for drying is 4 m2/1000 kg of dry solid. The moisture content at the end of the drying period is (in kg moisture/kg dry solid)?
A 0.5
B 0.05
C 0.1
D 0.15
Correct Answer: 0.1
Harmonic mean temperature difference is given by_________________?
A √(ΔT1 . ΔT2)
B 2 (ΔT1 . ΔT2)/(ΔT1 + ΔT2)
C 2 (ΔT1 . ΔT2)/(ΔT1 – ΔT2)
D (ΔT1 – ΔT2)/(ΔT1 . ΔT2)
Correct Answer: 2 (ΔT1 . ΔT2)/(ΔT1 + ΔT2)
