In a wood drier, the hot air must contain at least 2% by wt. water to prevent the wood from drying too rapidly and splitting or warping. The original fresh air feed contains 1% by wt. water. Wood is dried from 20% to 5% by wt. water. The wet air leaving the dried contains 4% by wt. water. Calculate the amount of wet air that must be returned to the drier if 1000 kg/hr of wet wood is dried.
