DRYING Flashcards
When the solid material is said to be “dry”, it means that
the solid still contains very small amount of moisture
When a solid material is placed inside a batch tray dryer, material is usually subjected
under constant drying conditions
Portion of water in the wer solid that cannot be removed by the air in direct contacr with the solid
equilibrium moisture content
Moisture in the solid thar exerts the equilibrium vapor pressure of pure liquid at the prevailing conditions
unbound moisture
This type of drier is used for drying pasty materials such as wet filterbcakes and lumpy solids
tray drier
unbound moisture in granular and porous solid moves through the intersticesnof the solid by a mechanism involving
moisture diffusivity
First point of the falling rate period corresponds to
critical moisture dryingg
Drum driers are used for drying _________
