5. Air having DBT =12C, WBT =8.5C, is heated to 43C before being passed over trays of wet solid in a 2-pass tray drier. The air leaves the first pass at 45% saturation and is reheated to 45C before passing over trays in the second pass, from where it finally exhausts at 60% saturation. The volume of exit air is 8.5 m3/s.
Assuming the dryer operation is at constant enthalpy,
a) Estimate the surface temperature of the wet solid in each pass,
b) What is the dew point of the air after each pass?
c) Calculate the mass of water evaporated per hour
d) If the operation is to be completed in a single pass, what will be the required inlet air temperature?
