Assuming a constant drying condition,a pile of meat wet solid was dried on a tray dryer.The thickness of material on the tray is 35.4 mm. Only top surface with an area of 0.45 m2 was exposed to drying. It took approximately 3.9 hours to dry 12.0 kg wet meat from its initial free moisture of 0.55 kg free moisture/kg dry meat to its critical moisture content of 0.22 kg free moisture/ kg dry meat. Evaluate the time to dry a pile of this material from X1 = 0.48 to X2 = 0.32 using the same drying conditions, with drying from top and bottom surfaces.

A wet solid is dried from 40% to 10% moisture under constant drying conditions in 5 hours. If the equilibrium moisture content is 0.0416 kg moisture/kg dry solid and the critical moisture content is 14%, how long will it take to dry from 40% to 5% moisture under the same conditions. All percentages other than equilibrium moisture content are on wet basis. Assume linear relation between rate of drying and moisture content during falling rate period.

A material was dried in a tray-type batch dryer using constant-drying conditions. When the initial free moisture content was 0.28 kg free moisture/kg dry solid, 6.0 h was required to dry the material to a free moisture content of 0.08 kg free moisture/kg dry solid. The critical free moisture content is 0.14. Assuming a drying rate in the falling-rate region, where the rate is a straight line from the critical point to the origin, predict the time to dry a...

Tray dryers operate by passing hot air over the surface of a wet solid that is spread over trays arranged in racks. They are most widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Its main advantage being its simple operation. However, it has the disadvantage of long drying times. From the concepts of drying that you have learned, what will you suggest to lessen drying time for tray dryers?
