What weight of totally dry potato flakes would be obtained? If the potatoes weigh is 7676 grams after peeling, followed by drying. Its moisture content was 75% on a wet basis.

What weight of totally dry potato flakes would be obtained? If the potatoes weigh is 7676 grams after peeling, followed by drying. Its moisture content was 75% on a wet basis. Correct Answer 1919 kg

Weight of water = Weight of material * percentage water as a decimal Weight of water in potato at starting of process = 7676 g * 0.75 = 5757 g Weight of solids in potato at start = Weight of potato – weight of water = 7676 -5757 g = 1919 g

200 kg of solids (on dry basis) is subjected to a drying process for a period of 5000 seconds. The drying occurs in the constant rate period with the drying rate as, Nc = 0.5 × 10-3 kg/m2.s. The initial moisture content of the solid is 0.2 kg moisture/kg dry solid. The interfacial area available for drying is 4 m2/1000 kg of dry solid. The moisture content at the end of the drying period is (in kg moisture/kg dry solid)
A dryer is used for drying pears which has initial moisture content of 70 % (wet basis) and final moisture content of 5 % (wet basis). An experimental drying curve for the product indicates that the critical moisture content is 25 % (wet basis) and the time for constant drying is 5 min. Can you estimate the total drying time for product?
In a laboratory test run, the rate of drying was found to be 0.5 × 10-3 kg/m2.s, when the moisture content reduced from 0.4 to 0.1 on dry basis. The critical moisture content of the material is 0.08 on a dry basis. A tray dryer is used to dry 100 kg (dry basis) of the same material under identical conditions. The surface area of the material is 0.04 m2/kg of dry solid. The time required (in seconds) to reduce the moisture content of the solids from 0.3 to 0.2 (dry basis) is
A solid is being dried in the linear drying rate regime from moisture content Xo to XF. The drying rate is zero at X = 0 and the critical moisture content is the same as the initial moisture Xo. The drying time for M = (Ls/ARc) is (where, L = total mass of dry solid, A = total surface area for drying Rc = Constant maximum drying rate per unit area X = moisture content (in mass of water/mass of dry solids)
It takes 6 hours to dry a wet solid from 50% moisture content to the critical moisture content of 15%. How much longer it will take to dry the solid to 10% moisture content, under the same drying conditions? (The equilibrium moisture content of the solid is 5%).
