4. (20 points) Determine the average power absorbed by the two soybean

 

4. (20 points) Determine the average power absorbed by the two soybean samples at each conveyor slope during micronization (this will provide you only a rough estimate). Show your calculation step-by-step for one of the soybean samples. Hint: The power absorbed has two components, related to: i) temperature rise in the soybeans, ii) moisture loss from the soybeans. 4 = mcAT + mwL Where is the power absorbed by the soybeans (kJ/s), m is the mass flow rate of soybeans (kg/s), Cp is the specific heat capacity of the soybeans (1.8 kJ kg- K-), AT is the temperature rise of the soybeans (K, i.e., the temperature difference of the soybeans before and after micronization), mi is the average rate of moisture loss during micronization (kg/s), L is the latent heat of vaporization of water (2257 kJ/kg).
