) A brick of clay is being dried in a batch dryer using constant drying conditions. You have been asked to determine the amount

of time it will take to dry the clay from a total moisture content of 0.6 to a free moisture content of 0.08. You are given the following information: 1. Previously, the drier was able to dry a piece of clay with a total moisture content of 0.64 in 8 hours and 80% of the drying occurred with a constant rate. 2. The equilibrium moisture content is 0.1. 3. The critical free moisture content is 0.15.

Answer:

The drying time is calculated as shown

Explanation:

Data:

Let the moisture content be = 0.6

the free moisture content be = 0.08

total moisture of the clay  = 0.64

total drying time for the period = 8 hrs

then if the final dry and wet masses are calculated, it follows that

t = (X0+ Xc)/Rc) + (Xc/Rc)* ln (Xc/X)

 = 31.3 min.

xz_007 [3.2K]

It is uncommon for electrocution to cause crane incidents: False.

<h3>What is electrocution?</h3>

Electrocution can be defined as a process through which a certain amount of electric current (electricity) passes through the body of a living organism, thereby, leading to death or severe injury.

According to the occupational safety and health administration (OSHA), it is very common for electrocution to cause crane incidents and accidents when adequate safety precautions are not adopted.

Which of the following is NOT true concerning the color of minerals? A. Some minerals have a consistent color, but many have a r
mixer [17]

Answer:

Option D

A mineral’s color reflects the wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the mineral.

Explanation:

Color is one of the physical properties of minerals. Many minerals have a wide range of colors but there are some minerals with one consistent color and such minerals are referred as monochromatic minerals for example azurite. Normally, the streak color tends to be less variable than the color of the whole mineral and impurities or minor chemical components in a mineral react and often control the display color of resultant mineral. Option D is incorrect since mineral's color don't reflect wavelengths of light absorbed by such minerals.
