A wet solid is dried from 35 % to 10 % under constant drying conditions in 5 hours. If the
equilibrium moisture content is 4% and the critical moisture content is 14%, how long
will it take to dry 6% moisture under the same conditions? All moisture content are on
wet basis.

One hundred grams of pure ethylene glycol is added to 120g of a mixture containing 75
%wt. ethyl benzene and 25 %wt. styrene and the resulting blend is allowed to equilibrate
at 25°C. How much styrene transfers to the ethylene glycol phase, assuming the ethylene
glycol and ethyl benzene are immiscible?
Given:
T = 25°C
Styrene (solute B)
Ethylene glycol (S)
Ethyl benzene (A)
K = 0.019 (from table)
K = y/x
S = 100g
F (feed) R
B = 0.25(120) = 30 g
A = 0.75 (120) = 90 g B
S
Solution
let w = wt of styrene
Cold H 2O (Cp = 4180 J/kg-°C) enter the tubes of a heat exchanger with 2-shell passes
and 20 tube-passes at 20°C at a rate of 3 kg/s, while hot oil (Cp=2200 J/kg-°C) exited the
shell at 130°C at the same mass flow rate. The overall heat transfer coefficient based on
the outer surface of the tube is 300 W/m 2-°C and the heat transfer surface area on that
side is 20m 2. Determine the rate of heat transfer using LMTD method and NTU method.

A shell and tube process heater is to be selected to heat water (Cp = 4,190 J / kg-°C) from
20°C to 70°C by steam flowing on the shell side. The heat transfer load of the heater is
600 KW. If the inner diameter of the tubes is 1 cm and the velocity of water is not to
exceed 3 m/s, determine how many tube passes need to be used in the heat exchanger?
