Answer
water, 75 liter/hr of liquid H2SO4 at 70oC, 1 atm and 55
liter/hr of liquid water at 20oC, 1 atm are mixed in a Upload

mixing tank. The mixed solution at temperature 50oC

2 (CO1, PO1, C2, C3) In a food processing plant a No uploads 20

Answer
fluidized bed dryer is used for the final drying and
cooling of coconut milk powder. Air that enters the Upload

fluidized bed is pre-treated in a conventional two stage

air-conditioner system consisting of a cooler-
condenser and a heater. The intake air that enters the
cooler-condenser has a dry bulb temperature of 24C Submit Answer
and a relative humidity of 45.0 %. The leaving air then
enters a heater in which the temperature is raised to
50C. The heated air is supplied to the fluidized bed
with an absolute humidity of 0.0063 kg/kg dry air and
at a rate of 23,000 m3 /hr. a) Sketch and label a flow
diagram for the above process. (4 marks) b) Calculate
the volumetric flow rate of the intake air. (3 marks) c)
Calculate the rate at which the water condenses within
the cooler-condenser (kg/hr) (3 marks) d) Determine
the temperature of the air leaving the cooler-
condenser. (2 marks) e) Calculate the heat involvement
in the cooler-condenser and the heater (kW). (6 marks)
f) Show the conditions of the air for the above process
in the psychometric chart. (2 marks)
