SOLID DRYING?
Removal of moisture from solids
DRYING PURPOSE
2) CONTINUOUS DRYERS :
Rotary Dryer

Relation between
X and W
Constant rate
• mv : mass of moisture evaporated
falling rate
• ms : mass of bone-dry solid
• X : moisture content
G : mass flux
• Since :
Step:
1) Read all data from appendix
2) Estimate hy
3) Calculate Rc
4) Calculate mass of moisture
to be vaporized
5) Calculate drying time
Constant rate
FALLING RATE DRYING
falling rate
• After constant rate period is over,
surface now appears dry.
• Drying rate is determined by how fast
moisture can diffuse to the surface, and
not by the conditions in the air.
Constant rate
• The diffusion rate to the surface is
determined by the diffusivity and by the
concentration driving force (dc/dx). falling rate
• With time, concentration gradient is
decrease → lower diffusivity → falling
rate.
• Determination of drying time relies on
experimental data to explain system Constant rate
behaviour (case 1-3) → empiricism

• Thus:
