Chapter 5, Problem 5.23P
Spray drying is a process in which a liquid containing dissolved or suspended solids is injected into a chamber through a spray nozzle or centrifugal disk atomizer. The resulting mist is contacted with hot air, which evaporates most or all of the liquid, leaving the dried solids to fall to a conveyor belt at the bottom of the chamber.
Powdered milk is produced in a spray dryer 6 m in diameter by 6 m high. Air enters at 167°C and −40 cm H2O. The milk fed to the atomizer contains 70% water by mass, all of which evaporates. The outlet gas contains 12 mole% water and leaves the chamber at 83°C and 1 atm (absolute) at a rate of 311 m3/min.
(a) Calculate the production rate of dried milk and the volumetric ?ow rate of the inlet air. Estimate the upward velocity of air (m/s) at the bottom of the dryer.
(b) Engineers often face the challenge of what to do to a process when demand fora product increases (or decreases). Suppose in the present case production must be doubled. (i) Why is it unlikely that the ?ow rates of feed and air can simply be increased to achieve the new production rate? (ii) An obvious option is to buy another dryer like the existing one and operate the two in parallel. Give two advantages and two disadvantages of this option. (m) Still another possibility is to buy a larger dryer to replace the original unit. Give two advantages and two disadvantages of doing so. Estimate the approximate dimensions of the larger unit.

Producer gas is a fuel that is manufactured from the reaction of coal, steam and air. A producer gas has the following composition by volume (dry basis): 20.35% CO, 11.03%, CO2, 15% H2, 51.43% N2, 1.98%O2 and 0.21 % CH4. The gas is flowing at 6000 cfm. It has a temperature of 200℃ , a pressure of 21 cm Hg and a partial pressure of 50 mm Hg for H2O. The atmospheric pressure is 758 mm Hg. The gas is delivered from the source to the furnace by means of a pipe. It cools down to 50 ℃ and is compressed to 2 atm pressure. At this condition, calculate:1. the volumetric flow ate2. the mass flow rate3. the partial pressure of each component/including water)4. complete analysis of the mixture
Two closed tanks are connected to each other by a valve. The first tank contains oxygen (O₂, m= 2.4 kg, T= 134 °C, p= 5 bar) and
the other carbon dioxide (CO₂, m= 2.4 kg, T = 33 °C, p = 1.0 bar). When the valve is opened, the gases are allowed to mix. When
the mixture reaches equilibrium, the temperature of the mixture is 73 °C. The gases can be assumed to be ideal gases.

Air with a relative humidity of 95% and temperature of 35°C is pumped into a chamber
filled with a non-reactive porous material. The material has a porosity of 0.6 and is initially
completely dry. After 15 minutes, air leaving the bed has temperature of 40°C and relative
humidity of 5%.
Complete this sentence:
The air leaving the bed has a higher temperature than when it entered because:
The latent heat of water in the gas phase was released by condensation onto the porous material
The latent heat of water in the porous medium was released into the gas phase by a phase change.
The latent heat of water in the gas phase was absorbed by evaporation
The porous material was hot and transferred its energy to the air
O Condensing water reacted with the porous material exothermically (that is, the reaction made heat)
