3. A dryer is to deliver 1,000 kg/hr of palay with a final moisture content of

1 0 % . T h e i n i t i al mo i s t u r e c o nt e nt i n t he f e e d i s 1 5 % at a t mo s p h e r i c
condition with 32°C DB and 21°C WB. The dryer is maintained at 45°C,
while the relative humidity of the hot humid air from the dryer is 80%. If
t he steam pressur e supplied t o t he heater i s 2 Mpaa, deter mi ne:
a) the amount of palay supplied to the dryer in kg/hr and the temperature
of the hot humid ai r from the dr yer i n ° C
b) the mass flow rate of air supplied to the dryer, in m 3 /hr
c) the heat capacity of the heater in kW
d) the steam supplied to the heater in kg/hr. (ME Board Problem, October
1985)

moisture in the feed. Determine the mass of air required if the change in
humidity ratio is 0.0165 kg/kg d.a.
