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.
