) 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.

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Lets first consider the term Isentropic efficiency. The isentropic efficiency of a compressor or pump is defined as the ratio of the work input to an isentropic process, to the work input to the actual process between the same inlet and exit pressures. IN practice, compressors are intentionally cooled to minimize the work input.
