Limestone (CaCO3(s)) is fed into a kiln and converted into
quicklime (CaO(s)) via the following reaction:
CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2 (g) The heat used to drive this reaction
comes from the combustion of methane in the kiln using 50% excess
dry air. The limestone and air enter at 25°C, and the quicklime
exits at 900°C. The combustion gases exit at 200°C.

In a spray dryer operation, milk powder with a moisture content of 4 %wt is produced by dehydrating liquid milk with an initial moisture content of 90 %wt. Hot air for the drying process was generated by drawing and heating the ambient air, initially at 25 ˚C with a relative humidity of 70 % at a mass flow rate of 1000 kg/hr. The ambient air was heated to 114˚C. Assuming an adiabatic drying process and the exit air with a relative humidity of 80 %, calculate the production rate of the milk powder (in kg/hr).
