Q. Find the initial moisture content for the batch process if the final moisture content is 25% (dry basis) and the constant moisture content is 40%. (Includes constant and falling rate period)

View solution

Q. Find the final moisture content for the batch process if the initial moisture content is 75% (dry basis) and the constant moisture content is 40%. (Includes constant and falling rate period)

View solution

Q. Falling rate period of a batch process starts at

View solution

Q. If the time taken for the moisture removal is obtained from the formula

Time = Ss(Xc – Xe)/ Nc * A ln ((X1-Xe)/(X2-Xe))

then the falling curve will be curves symmetrically

Where, Ss= Wet solid weight
Xc,Xe- constant & equilibrium moisture content
X1,X2 – initial and final moisture content
