Powdered milk is produced in a spray dryer
6.0m
in diameter by
6.0m
high. Air enters at
167\deg C
and
-50.0cmH_(2)O
(gauge). The milk fed to the atomizer contains
67.0%
water by mass, all of which evaporates. The outlet gas contains 12.00 mole% water and leaves the chamber at
89.0\deg C
and
1atm
(absolute) at a rate of
323(m^(3))/(m)in
. Calculate the production rate of dried milk and the volumetric flow rate of the inlet air. Estimate the upward velocity of air (
(m)/(s)
) at the bottom of the dryer.
