Question

A material containing 75% water and 25% solid is fed to a granulator at a rate of 4000 kg/h. The feed is premixed in the granulator with recycle product from a dryer, which follows the granulator (to reduce the water concentration of the overall material fed into the granulator to 50% water, 50% solid). The product that leaves the dryer is 16.7% water. In the dryer, air is passed over the solid being dried. The air entering the dryer contains 3% water by mass, and the air leaving the dryer contains 6% water by weight. What is the ratio of the recycle to the feed entering the granulator? What is the rate of air flow to the dryer?
