Wet material, containing 70% moisture on a wet basis, is to be dried at the rate of 0.15 kg/s in a counter-current dryer to give a product containing 5% moisture (both on a wet basis). The drying medium consists of air heated to 373 K and containing water vapour with a partial pressure of 1.0 kN/m² . The air leaves the dryer at 313 K and 70% saturated. Calculate how much air will be required to remove the moisture. The vapour pressure of water at 313 K may be taken as 7.4 kN/m².
