In a manufacturing facility, 40 cm × 40 cm wet brass plates coming out of a water bath are to be dried by passing them through a section where dry air at 1 atm and 25°C is blown parallel to their surfaces at 4 m/s. If the plates are at 15°C and there are no dry spots, determine the rate of evaporation from both sides of a plate.
