DRYINGDRYING

we are primarily concerned with drying wet porous solids (granules)

important in ensuring proper moisture content low enough to prevent product degradation and ensure

good powder flow, but high enough to provide good tablet properties

drying is a result of simultaneous heat and mass transfer

mass is transferred as a result of diffusion capillary flow

drying rate is determined by T, gas flow rate, humidity of gas

ExampleExample

using psychrometric chart, determine the relative humidity and moisture content in the air if the wet bulb T is 35 C and the dry bulb T is 50 C.

ExampleExample

Wet granules (density = 1.5 g/cm3) are spread onto a screen at an amount of 10 kg/m2 of screen. The bed porosity is 45% and the wet granules have an average diameter of 300 m. Air at 60C(dry bulb) and a wet bulb temp of 25 C is passed through the bed at a velocity of 0.15 m/s. How long will it take to dry the granules from 20 to 10 % moisture? The critical moisture content of the granules is 9 %.
